Hang Gliding

The hang gliding icon represents a recreational activity that involves flying through the air on a lightweight, foot-launched glider. Hang gliding is a type of air sport that requires a combination of skill, physical fitness, and knowledge of weather and aerodynamics. The icon is often used in directories or listings of hang gliding schools, instructors, or equipment suppliers.

In real-world applications, the hang gliding icon may appear on websites or apps that provide outdoor or adventure services, such as hang gliding schools, adventure travel platforms, or outdoor gear retailers. For example, it may be used on a website that allows users to find and book hang gliding lessons or equipment rentals.

From a UX perspective, the hang gliding icon communicates a sense of adventure, freedom, and excitement. It helps users understand that the service or facility represented by the icon is a place where they can engage in a thrilling and challenging outdoor activity.

Hang Gliding is one of 167 icons in Map Icons, made by Scott de Jonge and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 50 × 50 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds HangGlidingIcon to components/icons/map-hang-gliding.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed HangGlidingIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Hang Gliding icon, or any of 167 Map Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 50 × 50 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Hang Gliding", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. HangGlidingIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <HangGlidingIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Map Icons, Scott de Jonge and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
