Paramotor

A paramotor is a powered paraglider. It consists of a paraglider wing and a motor attached to a frame that the pilot wears. The motor typically has a propeller and is worn on the pilot's back. Paramotors allow pilots to take off and land without the need for a runway, and can be launched from flat ground.

The pilot controls the paramotor using a paraglider wing, which is steered by toggles. The motor provides thrust, allowing the pilot to climb and maintain altitude. Paramotoring is a form of recreational aviation that offers a unique perspective of the landscape below. It is a relatively accessible form of flight, with training courses available for beginners.

Safety is paramount in paramotoring, and pilots are trained in weather assessment, emergency procedures, and equipment maintenance. The equipment itself is designed with safety features, and regular inspections are conducted. Paramotors can be disassembled and transported, making them a versatile option for flying enthusiasts. The sport is enjoyed in various locations around the world.
