Edel Paragliders was a South Korean company engaged in the production of aircraft, operating out of Gwangju under the leadership of CEO Sung Heon Song. The firm focused on the development and manufacturing of paragliders and paramotor wings, offering them as complete, ready-to-fly units.
Established during the 1990s, Edel Paragliders ceased operations around 2007.
Operating as a branch of Hispo Co, Ltd, a company founded in 1982 that produced military parachutes, Edel Paragliders shared its parent company's fate, which also appears to have discontinued business.
At its peak, Edel was among the world's foremost paraglider manufacturers, boasting an extensive lineup. By the mid-2000s, its portfolio included 39 distinct paraglider models alongside paramotor wings. Their range encompassed competition-grade gliders such as the Edel Ace, Excel, and Millennium, beginner-friendly models like the Be All, as well as intermediate options including the Live. Additionally, they offered tandem gliders exemplified by the Prime Bi.
