Paragliding Physiology & Safety Protocols | Dr Matt Wikes Explains: Biophysics in the Art of Flight
Paragliding Atlas by Aninder SinghShow Notes
Watch this episode on Youtube: Paragliding Atlas - YouTubeA talk with one of the most learned pilots in modern times, Dr Matt Wikes has time and again shared his wisdom on how to fly better. In this episode we uncover the scenarios for staying safe and the science behind them. Brain-body connection at 3000mtrs & beyond, health hazards, optimal nutritioning, adrenalin, confidence and much more. We speak about: – Why paragliding physiology is different– Nutrition: complex carbs vs. sweets– Hypoxia: your personal "hypoxic signature"– Cold hands and oxygen demand– Body type, ballast, and submarine – Reserve parachute research (zip line, G-force simulator)– First aid in remote settings– Adrenaline, confidence, and the "don't just stand there" trap🌍Soaring High Resources: Elevate Your Aerial Pursuits Want to go beyond the episode?

We touch upon topics like: CCC rules and the 14cm speed travel limitPitch stability and moment coefficient (Cm) in paraglider designThe trade-off between stability and speed in competition wingsEnzo 3's marginal pitch stability, plastic rods, fabric shrinkageCertification challenges & Some Proposed solutionsConical End of speed section, altitude bonus, airspeed limitWhy the 10mm trimming limit doesn't solve the real problemProduction variation in competition wings (millimeter-level differences)The incentive to compromise stability for final glide performanceWant to go beyond the episode?

At times You'll noticed blank screen for video which is due to the camera overheating at the time of recording, although the audio is fairly consistent throughout the conversation and without any glitches. 🌍Soaring High Resources: Elevate Your Aerial Pursuits🚀 🔗 Meet the Maestro: Brett Janaway (https://xtc-paragliding.com/) SRS Live (https://srs.live/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sportsclassracingseries/) Want to go beyond the episode?
