ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Powered paraglider

A powered paraglider is like a big kite that you can control and fly through the air! The kite has a big engine and a propeller on its back to help it move through the air.

You sit in a special chair that's attached to the kite and use your hands to control it. You can make it go up, down, left, or right just by moving your arms around.

It's a lot like riding a bike or driving a car, but in the sky! You can go really high up, and even fly over things like mountains and rivers.

You have to be really careful and wear a special harness and helmet so you don't get hurt, but it's a really fun and exciting way to see the world from a whole new perspective!
