  • Patent number: 11873089
    Abstract: A powered paragliding harness includes a harness with a pilot's back rest and an engine mount carrying a power unit with propeller. The back rest and engine mount are connected via at least first and second levers. Hinged connections connect one end of each to the back rest and the other end to the engine mount. The first lever is shorter than the second. In the harness operational state, the first lever is above the second. The levers enable the transition between an upright position, where the back rest—propeller angle is small, especially back rest and propeller are or close to parallel, for an upright pilot position during take-off/landing, and a reclined position, where the back rest—propeller angle is larger, for a reclined pilot position. The second lever—engine mount connection is nearer to the power unit center of gravity than the first lever—engine mount connection.

  • Publication number: 20150217853
    Abstract: Paramotor with dynamic torque compensation includes a frame (1), harness or seat (2), engine and propeller (3) rotating in a cage (4) characterized by one or more surfaces placed on the frame and/or the cage in such a way that when air flows around them aerodynamic forces are generated in the opposite direction to the propeller torque. These surfaces are characterized by an asymetric profile (13), a symetric profile with non-zero angle of attack (14), an asymmetric profile with non-zero angle of attack (15) or in a form of flaps or ailerons with non-zero angle of attack (16). The surfaces may have adjustable angle of attack (17).
