		The Paresev (Paraglider Research Vehicle) was the first flight vehicle to use the "parawing," which is a simple delta wing design patented by Francis Rogallo of the NASA Langley Research Center. This little glider was designed, built, and flown at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center to evaluate the parawing concept and determine its suitability for the Gemini spacecraft.
