Powered paragliders, also known as paramotors, are lightweight aircraft that allow individuals to fly with minimal equipment. They consist of a fabric wing, or paraglider, and a motorized unit that provides thrust. This combination enables pilots to take off and land in small spaces, making them popular for recreational flying. Pilots wear a harness that connects them to the wing and the motor, which is typically mounted on their back. Powered paragliding is accessible to many, as it requires less training and equipment than traditional aircraft. Safety gear, such as helmets and reserve parachutes, is essential for a secure flying experience.
