Aviation Week: Digital Archive Launched Today (Jan. 5, 2016), Chronicles 100 Years of Aerospace Achievements

This topic thread may be considered a collecting place for noting items in Aviation Week that may affect recreational hang gliding. Any US Hawks forum poster may find some gem that enriches hang gliding history, design, piloting, airspace, etc.

Clip from their site:
"Aviation Week & Space Technology launched its 100-year digital archive today in collaboration with Boeing, the sponsor of the archive. Both companies trace their roots to 1916. The archive includes 4,500 issues and nearly 500,000 pages of articles, photos and advertising. It can be seen at archive.aviationweek.com."

========================
Start:
Upon looking at the naval kite balloons, I sense a gem: Lift hang gliders by kite balloons and then release for a recreational hang glider flight. Costly, but doable. Recreational hang gliding has occurred using lifter free balloons.
