The cross-sect ions of various airfoils are shown in figure 3-8. Note how the paraglider airfoil is a shape much like that of an airplane. / Lift and Dra g Now we can see that the air gets deflected from both the upper and lower surfaces of the airfoil. The upper surface pulls the air down as it passes while the lower surface pushes it down. In fact, the airfoil plows some air ahead of it like the bow wake of a boat. This effect causes a slowing of the air below the wing and a speeding up of the air above the wing as the air moves out ofth e way of the passi ng wing.

You will be holding and pulling only the A risers. The reason for this is that these risers are attached to the A lines going to the front of the canopy. By pulling only on the front of the canopy you will pull the openings into the air stream which inflates the canopy and causes it to generate lift like a wing.
