The Bede Wing was an inflated hang glider designed in the 1970s by aeronautical engineer Jim Bede. Intended as a safer alternative to conventional hang gliders it resembled an early ram-air parachute but instead was an inflatable structure that could be filled with air for gliding or with helium to act as a gas balloon. The aspect ratio of the Bede Wing was low in the area of 1.8. Fitted with unusually long suspension lines the Bede Wing had almost no dihedral.
