Powered hang gliding, also known as powered paragliding, is a type of ultralight aviation that combines elements of hang gliding and paragliding with the use of a small engine to propel the pilot and glider into the air.

The health benefits of powered hang gliding are numerous and include:

Improved cardiovascular fitness: The physical exertion required to fly a powered hang glider can provide a workout for the heart and lungs, helping to improve cardiovascular fitness.
Stress relief: The peaceful, serene environment of flying can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Increased Vitamin D production: Flying in the sunshine can lead to increased production of vitamin D, which is essential for bone health and overall well-being.
Improved mental well-being: The sense of freedom and adventure that comes with flying can have positive effects on mental health, helping to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
Increased self-confidence: The accomplishment of mastering a new skill and the sense of accomplishment that comes with flying can boost self-confidence.
Improved coordination and balance: Flying a powered hang glider requires good coordination and balance, which can be beneficial for overall physical health.
