Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Hang gliders can be rigid or semi-rigid. Semi-rigid, which is the most common type, have aluminium spars and battens in their wings, but are covered in a tight sheath of Dacron cloth. Rigid hang gliders are made of hard, composite materials such as glass fibre and are becoming increasingly popular. In both cases, the pilot is suspended in a harness beneath the glider in a face down position and controls the direction and speed by moving a triangular control frame to shift his or her weight beneath the wing. 3, record 3, English, - hang%20glider

Un deltaplane est un aéronef non motorisé qui ressemble à un cerf-volant de forme triangulaire. Son vol est stable et sécuritaire et il se déplace à des vitesses se situant entre 30 km/h et 120 km/h. La pratique du deltaplane s'adresse surtout aux personnes persévérantes et en bonne condition physique, car la formation est relativement technique et le pilotage de l'aile demande un minimum de force. 4, record 3, French, - deltaplane

Mesure du risque rattaché à une option, établie sous la forme d'un coefficient exprimant le rapport entre la variation de la prime de l'option et la variation du cours du sous-jacent, et traduisant la probabilité que l'option a d'être dans le cours à l'échéance, et donc d'être exercée. 2, record 6, French, - delta
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Pour une option au cours, le delta est proche de 0,5, l'option ayant autant de chances d'être exercée que de ne pas l'être; la prime varie de 0,50 $ pour chaque dollar de variation du cours du sous-jacent. Pour une option profondément dans le cours, le delta est proche de 1, la probabilité d'exercice de l'option étant très élevée; toute variation du cours du sous-jacent se répercute immédiatement sur le moment de la prime. Pour une option profondément hors du cours, le delta est proche de 0, l'option ayant très peu de chances d'être exercée; une variation du cours du sous-jacent n'a que peu d'effet sur le montant de la prime. Le delta est toujours compris entre 0 et 1 et est positif ou négatif selon qu'il s'agit d'une option d'achat ou d'une option de vente. 2, record 6, French, - delta
