Design and development

The Pegasus 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 engine in pusher configuration. Early versions were powered by a Solo 210 16 hp (12 kW) motor with a 2.5:1 ratio reduction drive and a 123 cm (48 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. Later versions feature a Cors'Air M21Y 25 hp (19 kW) motor and a 124 cm (49 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 8 litres (1.8 imp gal; 2.1 US gal), while later versions offer an option of 15 litres (3.3 imp gal; 4.0 US gal). The aircraft is built in two versions, one predominantly from aluminium and the other from titanium. [1] [2]

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]
