But the contours and form are quite cutting edge, which reflects well on its designer, this Serbian fellow named Zvezdan Nedeljkovic. Keep in mind that no matter how good this paragliding ride looks, the key word here is ‘concept,’ meaning its chances of ever entering production are close to nil. Despite this sobering truth, it’s obvious a good amount of engineering smarts went into the design.
