Love this. Individuals and other manufacturers starting to implement our design features on their paramotors.

Rather than copy everyone else, we took every component of a paramotor and designed or redesigned until every aspect or negative feature on existing paramotors was worked out.

- Near perfect Geometry.
No pitch changes when pumping throttle.
Near torqueless.

- Gapless netting system that makes sense.

- Spine protection (crumple zone that doesn't. impede running)

- Lumbar support frame for long distance comfort

- Active or fixed arm position

- Lightweight dedicated Trike attachment.

- Frame assembles with fasteners not Velcro making it vibration free and extremely rigid.

Just about every manufacturer on the market just copies each other. They make subtle design changes mostly in aesthetics and how things are connected, but overall the same functionality is repeated over and over.

We took the time to make changes to almost every part of the paramotor. Geometry, strength to weight, functionality, and ease of maintenance was superior to anything else on the market.

We design Aircraft for safety, not toys that can get you hurt with improper use of materials and connection hardware.

Our 7075-T6 "S" bars are one of the industries strongest, and almost double the strength of typical 6061-T6 (78,000psi vs 42,000psi) bars.

6061-T6 is acceptable, but, we wanted ours to handle the additional load of trike attachments without the need of additional bracing and take a fall without bending.

Ours have all bearing surfaces and properly sized hardware.

Not trying to trash anyone, but almost every major manufacturer has done this connection improperly and has experienced failures. I hope to challenge other manufacturers to up their game in the name of safety. 1 fatality is too many for such an easy design element.

A little more on how our unique thumb throttle works. No adjustments ever needed. Easiest throttle to use on the market.

Our customers can customize the anti-torque tabs to match their style or wing.

Our T1- Pro thumb throttle is unlike anything on the market. No more hand cramping like the lever style throttles give you. We tried to address and fix every complaint that people had with this sport.

We don't copy others, they copy our innovations.

Most paramotor throttles work under the same uncomfortable concept. Unlike most manufacturers that simply copy rather than innovate, we developed a throttle ...

Myth - Ttanium is stronger than aluminum.

Only sometimes if the proper grade is used.

We use 7075 T6 on primary structure and 6061 T6 on the hoop and hoop supports at a thicker structural gauge.

Your paramotor should not be easily (bent) for repairs. You need the repairs BECAUSE it bent in the first place and ruined your $400 prop and hundreds in cage parts. This should not be a selling point.

Our paramotor will protect you and itself from mistakes due to its proper use of structural materials.

If they won't build a bicycle out of grade 2 titanium (grade 9 or 5 used) then why would you fly an aircraft out of this which encounters higher stress loads.

Final assembly jig sets the anti-torque tabs at the proper angle. These are basically wings that "fly" the cage in an opposite direction to counter torque.

Other manufacturers that use flat paddles or lamels aren't very effective and are more of a gimmick. There is very little aerodynamic push on the paddles from the airflow during flight to have acceptable benefits. While some people have noted a usable decrease in torque with these systems, that is for another reason which isn't a positive one. These bigger paddles, or lamels at an aggressive angle just create turbulent air behind them and cavitate the airflow into the propeller right where it (should) produce the most thrust. Basically, they disturb up several square feet of air into the propeller in its most effective portion reducing your thrust. Less thrust=less torque. So the benefits to these other type of paddles or lamells are only somewhat working but for the wrong reason.

Rather, you must create lift from the airflow to gain any usable force to the cage. Our tabs also smooth the airflow into the prime power producing area of the propeller. We know our tabs create vortices on the open ends but we have not seen any negative side effects only positive from many tests. No RPM deficiencies and greatly reduced torque effect.

Anti-torque done right.
The aerodynamic principles are simple and solid.

Trikes going into production.

Most paramotor manufacturers don't do a simple fish mouth joint for a clean fit. Most simply butt a flat end to a round tube, and then fill in with a weld. This is a poor manufacturing technique for such a simple process. A clean fit is both beautiful and structural.
