The Parapower is a Polish paramotor designed and produced by Parapower of Pilchowo for powered paragliding. The aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly. [1]
Confusingly, both the manufacturer and its product have the same name. [1]
The Parapower 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 Solo 210 engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a 112 to 124 cm (44 to 49 in) diameter two-bladed composite propeller, depending on the model. The aircraft is built from a combination of bolted aluminium and 4130 steel tubing, with the plastic fuel tank mounted above the engine. [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]
Reviewer Rene Coulon noted in 2003, "the chassis, although of classic design, is robust and of good quality. The price is very competitive." [1]
