The term was first used by Englishman Mike
Byrne in 1980[1] and popularized in France around 1986 when La Mouette began
adapting power to the then-new paraglider wings.
Power plants are almost exclusively small
two-stroke internal combustion engines, between 80 cc and 350 cc, that burn a
mixture of gasoline and oil. These engines are favored for their quick high
r.p.m. thrust and low weight, using approximately 3.7 litres (1 US Gal.) of
fuel per hour depending on paraglider efficiency, the weight of unit plus
pilot, and flying weather conditions. At least one manufacturer is producing a
4-stroke model favored for its strong lower r.p.m. thrust and better fuel
efficiency. Electrically powered units also exist, though flight duration is
considerably limited on the battery's electrical capacity. Csaba Lemak created
the first electric PPG, flying it first on 13 June 2006.[2][3] Wankel rotary
engined paramotors are also available, but rare.

中国航空运动协会(简称中国航协)是国际航联的会员组织,是我国**性的体育组织,从民间的角度授权管理、组织、开展我国的航空运动。中国航协下设航空模型、跳伞、飞行、悬挂滑翔和热气球等项目委员会。悬挂滑翔委员会主管滑翔伞和动力伞运动。
我国开展动力伞运动始于20世纪90年代。1991年10月,法国动力伞**团到广西桂林旅游飞行带来了动力伞,这是我国正式接触动力伞飞行。 深圳飞行动力伞多长时间

The most difficult aspect of paramotoring
is controlling the wing (paraglider) on the ground. This control is both during
launch and upon landing. Initial training in becoming a paramotor pilot
involves managing the wing in the air from the ground without the motor. This
process is called kiting and is the most complicated and important step in the
process. Once kiting the wing on the ground is mastered then the motor is added
to the process to practice with the weight of the paramotor included. A typical
paramotor will weigh on average around 50 lbs. (23 kg) with some models as
light at 40 lbs. (18 kg) and some models as high as 75 lbs. (34 kg.) The size
of the paramotor wing and engine are dependent on the weight of the pilot.
A powered paraglider trike landing
Lightweight carts or "trikes"
(called "quads" if they have four wheels) can also be mounted on powered
paragliders for those who prefer not to, or are unable to, foot launch. Some
are permanent units.
In the United States, if the aircraft meets
the ultralight definitions, no license is required. In the UK, trike-mounted
paramotors are still classified as 'self-propelled hang-gliders' if the
"performance of the aircraft remains equivalent to one that can be
foot-launched." [7]. However, even in these countries, if the machine has
two seats it is no longer an ultralight. In the US such a craft would be governed
under the Sport Pilot rules and regulated as a light sport aircraft powered
parachute which requires an aircraft N-number and pilots must be licensed.
The pilot controls thrust via a hand-held
throttle and steers using the wings brake toggles or stabilo steering, weight
shifting or a combination of the three. It is identical to Paragliding except
it is powered so the use of an elevation or thermals to ascend are not
required. Paramotor wings have evolved specifically for use with power
propulsion, as compared with free flight 'paraglider' wings. Such wings are
typically designed for a higher speed and may incorporate a "reflex"
profile to aid stability in pitch, an idea taken from hang gliders of the
1980s. Paramotor wings typically use trimmers to adjust the Angle of Attack of
the wing to either slow it down or speed it up in flight. Trimmed out allows
the pilot to achieve maximum speed, while trimmed in allows for slower speeds
optimized for launching and landing.

Noise
Paramotor noise relative to an observer
depends on distance, loudness, frequency and timbre of the power unit. Most
noise comes from the propeller and slow rpm is perceived as the quietest.
Pilots mitigate their sound impact by leaving a noise-sensitive area at low
power, keeping the farthest practical distance away, and reducing time spent
near the area.
License and training
Neither a license nor specific training is
required in the U.S., U.K. or many other countries. Where there is no specific
regulation (e.g. Mexico), paramotor flying is tolerated provided the pilots
cooperate with local officials when appropriate.[citation needed] In countries
where specific regulation exists, such as Canada, France, Italy, and South
Africa, pilots must be trained, both in flying theory and practice, by licensed
instructors. Some countries that require formal certification frequently do so
through non-government ultralight aviation organizations.
Regardless of regulations, powered
paragliding can be dangerous when practiced without proper training.
