Technical soaring ( the OSTIV magazine ) July 2002. pg 89.
The article suggests that the prone ( face down and forward ) position may actually provide added safety rather than less safety when an analysis of aircraft accidents is made. However upward visibility would be a problem ( unless there was a horizontal mirror in front of and below the pilots line of forward sight ) Keeping your head up could be fun after 8 hours! Most of this is in reference to the Exulans ultra-light tailess sailplane. http://members.tripod.com/~diomedes/exulans/ Ian
