Paraavis Pegasus

The Paraavis Pegasus is a Russian paramotor, designed and produced by Paraavis of Moscow for powered paragliding. The aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

Design and development
The Pegasus 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. Early versions were powered by a Solo 210 16 hp motor with a 2.5:1 ratio reduction drive and a 123 cm diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. Later versions feature a Cors'Air M21Y 25 hp motor and a 124 cm diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 8 L, while later versions offer an option of 15 L. The aircraft is built in two versions, one predominantly from aluminium and the other from titanium.

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.
