One of the first engine powered parachute wing vehicle was designed in Poland in mid-eighties, by aeronautical engineers: Marek Debski Ph.D. and Andrzej Komor Ph.D. The power unit consisted of the KFM piston engine and two counter-rotating over-ducted propellers. The idea of counter-rotating was to eliminate possible gyro effects. The power unit was mounted on a vehicle’s carriage. All the structure are easily demounted and packed into a car luggage compartment for transport purposes.

Paradynamics Blackbird
The Blackbird was designed to improve the function, performance and ergonomics of paramotors. Many hundreds of hours of design and analysis, numerous prototypes and over 50hrs of test flying were dedicated to refining the final product.
The Blackbird seat-back allow the pilot to fly comfortably reclined without compromising take off performance and also allows the incorporation of an optional rigid foot rest. Aerodynamics are improved by moving the fuel tank away from the prop and into a more streamlined position during cruise. Ground handling versatility is also improved allowing better ground stability and compact storage.
The Blackbird features a Carbon/Kevlar back support, Apco SLT harness, Powder coated aluminium lazer cut frame, Carbon fibre spokes, Vittorazi V-throttle and an 11.5 lt carbon/kevlar reinforced composite fuel tank (2.5- 3 hrs endurance).
The cage diameter is 1450mm, and total frame & engine/prop weight is 25kg.
The motor is a Moster 185cc SILENT or PLUS with two piece carbon prop. The thrust with a standard 1.3m carbon prop (Vittorazi) is 75kgs.
The Blackbird sold for $8,450.00 in 2017 from Christchurch, NZ.
Paradise Aircraft P-1
The Paradise P-1 complies with all aspects of the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) ASTM standards, that specify the design and performance requirements of the two types of LSA aircraft. Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA) and Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA). Easy to service and maintain and if registered as an E-LSA can have even the annual inspection made by the owner. 2009 Price: US$108300
The P-1 is constructed using 4130 steel tube frame welded and is covered with aviation grade aluminum. Powered by a 100 HP Rotax 912 ULS, it offers short field take off and landing performance, with excellent climbing rate and cruise speed. The cowling can be removed by one person making it easy to access every component for inspection and maintenance
It is a high wing, two seat, side by side aircraft similar to a Cessna 150, but that is where the similarity ends.
The combination of its wing design and large moving horizontal tail (stabilator) produces a very gentle yet stable aircraft with a good stall characteristic. This, coupled with the ruggedness of its landing gear, dual control system, and a wide range of optional, makes it an excellent trainer. Taxiing is easy with the pedal steered nose gear and large hydraulic brake system.
The large cabin width (43.3 inches), panel mounted yoke, unhindered floor space providing lots of leg room, with, the standard leather upholstery can accommodate two large occupants in plush comfort.
The behind the seat baggage space (largest of its category), with 75 lbs of load capacity and over 18 cubic ft of available space can carry a lot of luggage, including 2 golf bags plus a cooler or perhaps your fishing and camping gear. No hotel, remove the seat, place a sleeping bag for a 6 ft + person to sleep in comfort.
The inherent “nose down” level flight characteristic, offers a superb ahead and all around visibility.
