Design and development
The Titan 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 Falcon 18 to 20 hp (13 to 15 kW) engine in pusher configuration with a 2.2:1 or 3.42:1 ratio reduction drive and a 99 to 122 cm (39 to 48 in) diameter two-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 9 litres (2.0 imp gal; 2.4 US gal). The aircraft is built from a combination of aluminium tubing, with a titanium chassis.[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]
