Thanks, Chad

World's Fastest Powered Paragliding S-Trike!!!!



How do powered parachutes differ from trikes? Is the training to become each the same?

in a trike you are sitting on a seat in a frame that has wheels and holds the motor on the back, there is one bolt that keeps you attached to the wing, much like a hang glider wing, you take off and land like an airplane. some models can go up to 60 mph and trips across the state are not out of the question.

with a powered parachute you wear the motor and prop on your back and run to inflate the parachute (ram air foil)that is attached to a harness you wear just like a sky diver. This is much slower, 13 mph or so, and a head wind can make you fly backwards.

training for each is different, with a trike you find someone who has a two seat trike and they train you, for single seat models that fall within the rules for an ultra-light aircraft you don't need much more than insurance, for models with larger engines and a passenger you will need to get a light sport pilot license. the trike is controlled with a bar just like a hang glider, also you have a throttle and brakes. I have seen one guy who had a hand held comm radio, wing tip mounted strobe lights, and a GPS on the bar so he could fly into regular airports. He even flew from FL to MA in about three days when he bought the trike.

for the powered parachute you should get some instruction, possibly a couple of sky diving lessons could help you learn the basics of steering and stopping, as the controls for a parachute are the two lines you hold in your hand, pull down the one you want to turn toward to steer, pull both to "brake".
