The present invention is a ram air rigid structure glider, which uses both ram air inflation and a rigid structure in order to produce the necessary aerodynamic lift to glide through the air. The frame uses two main structural beams, the spar and the keel, to form the general shape of the wings and the tail. The hubs and the network of lines expand the structure laid out by the spur and the keel. The hubs are evenly placed along the spur, and the network of lines are connected and crisscrossed in between the hubs. The sail is a piece fabric wrapped around the frame and has a plurality of cells, which are evenly spaces throughout the sail. The plurality of cells allows the sails to be inflated by ram air pressure. The pilot pod carries the user in the supine position and is attached to the frame.
