Design and development

The aircraft was designed in the 1990s and features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place accommodation and a single Simonini 200cc two-stroke engine in pusher configuration, with recoil starting. The fuel capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal) standard, with 15 litres (3.3 imp gal; 4.0 US gal) optional. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot.[1][2]

The Simonini fits into the company's line in between the Solo 210-powered Solo model and the Hirth F33-powered Fresh Breeze Monster.[1]

gollark: Assuming you can switch the light on and off pretty fast, and the magic can respond quickly, you might actually get decent data rates out of it.
gollark: Well, in that case I guess you could do automatic Morse code (or some variant), and if you could make a bright enough light (and maybe focus it on the receiving tower with mirrors or something), that might be longer-range than having to actually see the individual semaphore arms.
gollark: Oh, right. Hmm.
gollark: You probably could do an actual Morse code light, but I think if you can only move things around and heat them instead of actually generating light directly it would be more efficient to do the movable arms thingy.
gollark: Between ships and docks, maybe, for example? That might be useful.
