Design and development

The Corsario 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 Cors'Air engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a 99 to 120 cm (39 to 47 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller, depending on the model. The fuel tank capacity is 9 litres (2.0 imp gal; 2.4 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]
