COASTAL TIDINGS Come Fly with Me The 22nd annual Rogallo Kite Festival soars June 10-12 at Jockey's Ridge State Park at Nags Head. The festival honors Francis and Gertrude Rogallo, inventors of the flexible delta wing — an innovation that gave birth to hang gliding. In 1971, hang gliders utilizing the flexible wing design appeared in the world's first hang glider meet — marking a milestone in the evolution of nonpowered flight. Their flexible wing design conforms with. wind flow, provides more stability th

![(February 5, 1962) W. C. Sleeman, Jr. inspecting a model of the paraglider in 300 mph 7 x 10 Foot Wind Tunnel. The paraglider, or "Rogallo Wing," was proposed for use in the Gemini Program. It would have allowed Gemini to make precision landings on land, rather than in the water. But the wing suffered a number of problems. The biggest problem was getting it to deploy properly and reliably. The plan was canceled.
