H&E Paramotores Ziklon

The H&E Paramotores Ziklon (Cyclone) is a Spanish paramotor that was designed and produced by H&E Paramotores of Madrid for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

Design and development
The Ziklon 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 Per Il Volo Top 80 15 hp engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a 99 to 125 cm diameter two-bladed wooden propeller, depending on the model. The fuel tank capacity is 9 L.

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.
