Abstract
The weight-shift movements of a suspended pilot are transformed into electrical signals representative of the movements. The signals may be used as the pitch and roll input information in an interactive computerized flight simulation system. The signals may also be generated by an actual pilot of a hang glider or ultralight aircraft and used on board to control ailerons, elevators, rudders, or the like, so as to enhance the performance potentials of these types of aircraft.
