There are several very successful companies in the Czech Republic, developing and producing paragliders. Every year they introduce a range of new types, whose performance and other features surpass the previous one. These companies have given wings to three thou-
sand paraglider pilots in the Czech Republic alone and other tens of thousands the world over. This catalogue lists currently manufactured single-place paragliders, top-notch racing paragliders, tandem paragliders and many kinds of special paragliders.
The suitability of the given type of paraglider for the specific skill level of its potential pilot is shown on a colour scale. The scale shows the range of skill from an absolute beginner to the most experienced pilot. The sizes of the canopy are shown according to their respective manufacturers’ methods of designation. The weights listed are the take-off ones (weight of pilot including full equip-ment, weighing from 15 to 20 kg for free paragliding and 40 kg for flying with paramotors).
Emergency parachutes ATL and PTCH are designated for the rescue of glider and small aircraft pilots.

PARACHUTES / RESCUE SYSTEMS
��
Company Galaxy High Technology, s.r.o., is a prominent European producer of para-chute ballistic rescue systems aimed for ultra-lights, light sport aircraft, unmanned Aircraft and experimentals ranging up to speed of 350 km/h. The company exports 90% of its production to all continents.Overall year production represents ca. 700 units of 53 different modifications. Thanks to its long tradition,since 1984, the systems GRS are con-stantly updated and enhanced. Our company does not pursue development of parachutes only for high speeds, but during the long testing the com-pany pay special attention to quick opening in low speeds enabling a safe rescue from lowest possib-le heights. Ever growing number of customers testifies not only to the product quality but about a good marketing and service as well. Customers like to hear our slogan:
“CHANCE FOR RESCUE FROM ANY HEIGHT”
Since 1994 the U.S.H. Production of Rescue Systems is developing, producing and pro-viding after sales support to the ballistic deployed parachute systems. They use for their operation energy of a rocket motor. While the majority of USH’s BR systems were installed in the UL aircraft, currently a system for aircraft of the LSA category, so widespread in the USA, is being developed. It has to cater for the higher, 600 kg weight. The parameters and quality of the already developed and approved products of the USH are being constantly upgraded. They are also approved by the Czech LAA author-ity and by the German DULV, while the pyro-technic components are also approved and conform to Czech and German regulations. Since 1994 the USH regularly participates at the Aero Friedrichshafen fair.
Parachutes Stratos 07 designs and manu-factures personal and cargo parachutes, special use para-chutes, cargo containers and emergency parachutes for paragliders and hang−gliders.
Ballistic protection Newly, Stratos 07 took on the production of special bullet-proof vests.
Special armor / Protective gear Stratos 07 develops and manufactures body armor and riot protection gear.Chosen through tenders it supplies equipment to customers in several countries, for example the French poli-ce force.
Accessories Stratos 07 offers windsocks, polyamid and kevlar ropes and a other equip-ment.
Stratos 07 is a company with long tradition in design and manu-facturing of wide variety of products. Besides rocket activated rescue parachute systems (system 450 Magnum SSP and recently certified system Magnum 501) Stratos 07 delivers high quality pro-ducts in the following fields:
LAA ČR Microlight Certification ProcessMicrolight Technical Certification is one of the key LAA ČR activity.
65 LAA ČR Type Certificates have been issued since 1990!
LAA ČR Concept of Certification Stress/Strength Tests Serve to prove the basic structural strength of all primary structure parts of the aircraft, such as wing, fuselage, empen-nage etc. Each structure has to pass a system of strength tests covering the requirements of the regulations to at least the calculated limit loads. The tests are carried out by the manufacturer under the super-vision from the LAA ČR.Simple loading methods are used.The tests are carried out until the calculated limit stress/load is achieved.The visual checks and measurements of the deformation are carried out too. Wings ultimate strength (loading to destruction) tests are pre-ferred to ascertain the actual strength reserves of the airframe – for „P“ Technical Certificate.The failed critical points of structures are often appropriately strengthened and the tests are repeated to find eventual other critical points. The tests results are in case of failures compared to the design calculations and thus they serve to precise design calculation methods.

Certification Administration The LAA ČR system of proving the airworthiness is based on technical inspectors. For the three-axis control UL category there are 24 appointed inspectors. The technical inspectors are appointed and managed by the Chief Technical Inspector, who is an employee of the LAA ČR. The inspectors are not employees of the LAA ČR and their duty is carried out on the voluntary (activist) basis. The inspectors are spread regionally accross the Czech Republic. The inspectors file their registers of aircraft and have allotted their identification letters in the registration mark.

LAA ČR recognises 3 types of technical certificates:
„Z“a technical certificate (TC) of airworthiness of a prototype of an aeroplane, built by an individual builder. The documentation of the basic calculation is required; a building process supervision by the technical inspector and at least strength test of the wing is mandatory.Validity of the TC = 1 year
„P“a technical certificate of airworthiness of an aeroplane that was granted a LAA ČR type certificate. A comprehensive range of stress (load) tests is carried out and the aircraft is tested up to ultimate (maximum calculated) loads. The approval procedure is carried out as an opponency. The final decision lies with the Technical commission of the LAA, where 10 top class specialists convene and decide. The technical commission is managed by the Chief Technical Inspector. The complete documentation is filed in the LAA ČR archive. The result of the process is the Type certificate. Validity of the TC = 2 years
„A“a technical certificate of airworthiness of an aeroplane, ama-teur/home-built according to a documentation of aeroplane that was granted a Type certificate. The documentation has to be purchased officially from the Type certificate holder. The technical inspector carries out the supervision during the building process; a wing stress test to the maximum operational (limit) load is always required.Validity of the TC = 2 years.
The Civil Aviation Authority is established by the Act No 49/1997 Coll. on civil aviation to carry out the state administration of all matters to do with civil aviation. State supervision in civil aviation is carried out by state employees of the Civil Aviation Authority within the scope of their powers specified by the
Act on Civil Aviation, implementing rules and relevant regulations and directives and other documents specified by the European Communities and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The Civil Aviation Authority works together with EASA and is presented as a fully standardized and respected National Aviation Authority.
LAA ČR is an association of pilots, builders, designers, manufacturers and operators of light aircraft with MTOM up to 450 kg. It has more than 7 000 members. LAA ČR is the designated authority for certification, licensing and operation of microlights in the Czech Republic. This covers paragliding, powered paragliding, hang gliding, gyroplanes, helicopters, weight shift and aerodynamically controlled microlight. LAA CR supports the creation of stand alone 600 kg LSA category in Europe.

The electrical flaps actuator offers to the pilot not only more comfort but also increases the security.During operation with mechanical flaps there are possible unwanted changes of the flight attitude caused by: - insufficient space in the cockpit - flaps lever is too long or in improper position and therefore abrupt flaps setting
The positions of the electrical flaps depending on the aircraft model are easy programmable by eve-ryone. There are only 2 buttons on the backside of the control unit for programming the requested flaps positions. When the flap positions are programmed, the compact electrical actuator brings the flaps in the correct position by a simple change of the lever position.The LED-indicator of the last flaps position lights until the next resp. requested position is reached. During this time flashes the LED-indicator of the requested position given by the lever. If the force exceeds the programmed limit (e.g. by flaps setting during too high flight speed), the flaps return to the previous, lower position. Also reaching of this flaps position and the activation of the security system is indicated by the LED-indicator and so is the pilot advised to his mistake.Because of reliability reason, for the changing the flaps position instead of an electrical switch we have used a mechanical lever which position is checked by 4 Hall-sensors (non contact switch).

Space research and development have a long tradition in the Czech Republic star-ting back in October 1969. In 1978, the first Czech astronaut Vladimir Remek spent 6 days on-board of the Salyut 6 orbital sta-tion and Czechoslovakians thus became the third nation to enter the space. The first Czech satellite Magion 1 reached its orbit in October 1978. The Automated Stabilised Platform was the most sophisticated space equipment manufactured in Czechoslovakia. It was used on the Soviet Vega Spacecrafts in 80’s and also installed on the Mir orbital station. Second half of 90’s brought increa-sing level of cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA), which culminated in November 2008 when the Czech Republic became the ESA full member. Starting from the 2010, the Czech Republic is also full member of EUMETSAT.
The ESA membership has opened new oppor-tunities for Czech companies and institutions engaged in space. The Czech Republic has committed 45.6 million Euro to the ESA pro-grammes until 2013. Space related research and innovation projects are also eligible to get funding from the Czech Grant Agency, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Czech Academy of Sciences and universities.
The Czech Space Office (CSO) is the nati-onal information and advisory centre for space opportunities and activities in the Czech Republic and serves the national space community as the central contact point for communication with ESA. The CSO has close relations with the Association of the Aviation Manufacturers and Czech Space Alliance, two bodies where larger companies and SMS, respectively, of the Czech space industry are organised.
The space industry is one of the new emer-ging sectors in the Czech Republic. Several Czech manufacturing companies have alrea-dy a contract to supply mechanical and/or electronic parts and sensors for satellites. Apart from companies already approved to deliver to the space, there are many with a potential to transfer their technological skills into the space sector. The main Czech hardware competencies include materials thermal processing; high-precision mecha-nical parts and assemblies; PCB assembling in a clean room; mechanical, structural and environmental testing; high-quality optical-mechanical/-electronic devices; telecom-munication systems; robotic systems and nanotechnology products. In the field of software development, the major skills cover vehicles health monitoring, flight/ground seg-ment software, complex software solutions, solutions for safety-critical systems, digital image processing and signal processing.

SWARM satellite. Its on-board micro-accelerometers are developed and produced by the specialized Czech facilities headed by the ARTI (Aviation Research and Test Institute/VZLÚ - Výzkumný a zkušební letecký ústav) of Prague.
The ARTI - Aviation Research and Test Institute (VZLÚ - Výzkumný a zkušební letecký ústav) develops and supplies some special scientific instruments and equipment designed to be used for experiments and measurements undertaken in the space. Among its most important tasks belongs the development of the high-precision micro-accelerometers for measuring the extremely small accelerations in the spacecraft. These very accurate devices enable to measure the effects of non-gravitational forces on the parameters of trajectory of the artificial satellites, orbiting the Earth. Subsequently the processed data enable to produce and make more accurate the dynamic models of the Earth’s thermosphere. Currently the ARTI/VZLÚ participates in the SWARM project, part of the “Earth observation “programme, supported by ESA. The project is devoted to the research of the magnetic field of the Earth and the near space environment, with the EADS Astrium concern serving as the main implementer and prime contractor. The purpose of the order for the ARTI/VZLÚ is a supply of one engineering model and three flight examples of the micro-accelerometer for measuring accelerations of low frequencies and amplitudes. Besides the SW also the EGSE - a ground test unit - is included in the scope of the task.

The Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT/CTU) is one of the most important and respected Czech technical universities. Since 1926 it trains aviation engineers and also carries many high-level sci-entific, research and development activities in the realm of aerospace, under-taken at the University departments (faculties) - the machine engineering, electric engineering and transport engineering.
These departments have a number of specialized sites, serving the need of University as working as needed for the aerospace indus-try R&D, and for the air transport.
The Czech Technical University in Prague offers the following aviation-related courses of study:
● Aircraft (aircraft structures−airframes, aviation powerplants)● Aviation control and information systems● Air transport ● Professional pilot● Operation and control of air transport ● Aircraft maintenance techniques
Some of the activities of the ČVUTin the aviation domain:
● Design, research, development and building of sports aircraft including airframes of light and ultralight category.● Safety and reliability of aircraft structures and powerplants.● Strength and life of aircraft structures.● Research, development and design of aero engines and light fan propulsion.● Aerodynamics and mechanics of flight.● Aerodynamic design of airfoils for airframes and propellers. ● Research and design solutions for cases of spatial flow in applications of external and internal aerodynamics, including the flow in curved channels.● Composite materials and composite structures. ● Research and development of aviation technologies in foundry practice, forming, welding, machining, surface finishing, metrology and assembly in aerospace manufacture.● Research and development of avionic systems for small sporting aircraft.● The research and development of a budget autopilot for small transport aircraft● Research and development aimed at reliable integrated GPS,● Glonass and Galileo systems' receivers.● Ground vibration test and flutter analysis of small aircraft (UL&LSA).● Modal analysis of structures (eigen-frequencies).

The aviation education has a long−standing tradition at the universities of Brno; it brought, besides e.g. the development of the turbine aero engines, also some pioneering aircraft designs and high−performance gliders of the thirties and sixties.
In 1982 at the Brno University of Technology the Aviation Department has been re-established and in 1993 the University had founded its Institute of Aerospace Engineering (IAE), led by prof. Ing. Antotnín Píštěk, CSc., as a part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
IAE belongs to very few institutes in Czech Republic, who offer university degree study in aerospace. It covers wide range of speciali-zations in 2 master´s and 1 bachelor´s study programmes. The Institute offers master degree in "Aircraft Design" and in "Aeronautical Traffic", bachelor´s study for "Professional Pilots" and also the doctoral (PhD) studies. The work of the IAE is from the beginning aimed at a close cooperation with companies of the Czech aerospace industry.
In 2000 the Aerospace Research Centre (ARC) has been cre-ated, based on the programme of research centres of the Ministry of Youth, Education and Sports of the Czech Republic (MŠMT). The Aerospace Research Centre's work is supervised by a fifteen−member council, with an absolute majority of industry representatives, thus the Centre ensures a transfer of research results to the aviation industry and the feedback of the industry knowledge to the research sites.
The activities of the IAE and ARC are aimed at aerodynamics, mod-ern technologies and materials, systems' reliability, hydraulic systems, space research and at the aeronautical structures, strength and life of aircraft and also at the economic aspects of the aircraft development.
An important asset of the IAE is the test facility with the Czech CAA certificate for static and fatigue testing of aircraft structures.
The wide scope of work is documented by some of the many tasks in which the IAE participated or participates. Here belong e.g. the: ● The development of the KP−2U Sova ultralight and its further upgrading.● Collaboration in the development of the Aero Ae-270. ● Collaboration in the development of the JA600 Light Sport Aircraft for Jihlavan Airplanes.
● Design of the VUT100 Cobra five−seat touring aircraft.● Collaboration with the HPH company in the development of the HPH−304S high−performance all−composite glider.● Design and production of "Marabu family" of experimental aircraft: VUT 001 Marabu and its modifications VUT 051 RAY and VUT 061 Turbo.● Collaboration on modernization program for L-410 transport aircraft.● Cooperation with the Jihlavan Co. in the development of hydraulic components for small transport airplanes.● Collaboration in the development of the EV-55 light transport, build by Evektor Co. ● Cooperation on the EU projects: CESAR, DATON, CELPACT, PPLANE, DAEDALOS, SPARTAN.
