I like that they are silent and don't use fuel. But at the moment, i can't see how they'd launch. Or be in enough numbers (say 10 for a raiding party?) to be effective.
Not hang-gliders. Paragliders (click the link in the OP for pics) are essentially parachutes propelled by a small motor (IIRC, the original paragliders used lawnmower motors). One wouldn't need an airplane or a cliff to take off, and they are only silent if the "pilot" turns off the engine in flight.
