Design and development

The aircraft was designed in the 1990s and features a paraglider-style high-wing, two-place accommodation and a two Quadra horizontally-opposed two-stroke 200 cc (12.2 cu in) engines in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot.[1]

The aircraft's twin-engine configuration is unique. The engines are positioned vertically, one above the other, so that a single engine situation does not create yaw and allows easy control in the event of a single engine failure. With only one engine operating the aircraft will not normally be capable of climbing with two people, but will give the pilot a wide range of choices for landing. Each engine drives its own propeller and both engines are supplied fuel by a single 2.6 U.S. gallons (9.8 L; 2.2 imp gal) tank via gravity feed.[1]
