Design and development

The Racket 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) Radne Raket 120 engine in pusher configuration with a 4:1 ratio reduction drive and a 125 cm (49 in) diameter three-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 12 litres (2.6 imp gal; 3.2 US gal). [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 said of the company's designs that they are "one of the best chassis designed". [1]
