Design and development

The Solo was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 14 hp (10 kW) Solo 210 engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a 110 cm (43 in) diameter three-bladed composite German Helix-Carbon propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal). The aircraft backpack chassis is built so that it can be quickly disassembled into five parts for ground transport and storage. [1]

As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. [1]
