Design and development

The Respect 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 17 hp (13 kW) Solo 210 or 28 hp (21 kW) Hirth F33 engine, depending on the model in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a 122 cm (48 in) diameter two-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal). The aircraft propeller cage can be folded into four parts and the aircraft rigged with low or high hang points.[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]

gollark: Also, AI training needs powerful GPUs generally, I think, so it would cost a bit.
gollark: So you then get a bot which... says random things?
gollark: IIRC there are loads of off-the-shelf text generation "AI" things around now.
gollark: Would that be such a bad thing?
gollark: Presumably you could have a similar system be trained on messages as they're sent.
