Paramotor Mosquito Explained
The
Paramotor Mosquito is a Polish
paramotor that was designed by Ryszrd Zygadio and produced by
Paramotor Napedy Paralotniowe (
en|Paragliding Paramotor Drives) of
Warsaw for
powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.
[1] Design and development
The Mosquito 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 engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a 100to diameter two-bladed composite propeller, all depending on the model. The aircraft is built from a combination of aluminium, with a stainless steel tube propeller cage.[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]
