Design and development

The aircraft was designed in the 1990s and features a paraglider-style high-wing, two-place accommodation and a single two-stroke engine in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot, with both occupants running together. [1]

Pusher configuration arrangement of propellers on an aircraft to face rearward

In a vehicle with a pusher configuration, the propeller(s) are mounted behind their respective engine(s). According to British aviation author Bill Gunston, a "pusher propeller" is one mounted behind the engine, so that the drive shaft is in compression.

The Twin was one of the first paramotors designed for training use and its tandem seating allows easy communication between instructor and student. [1]

Tandem arrangement in which people, machines, or animals are in line behind one another facing forward

Tandem, or in tandem, is an arrangement in which a team of machines, animals or people are lined up one behind another, all facing in the same direction.
