Adventure F series explained
The
Adventure F series is a family of
French paramotor designs that was designed and produced by
Adventure SA of

[1] [2] [3] Design and development
The aircraft series features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration. Take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. The series was designed for portability and as a result is of small dimensions and light weight. All versions can be disassembled to be transported in the trunk of an automobile or checked as baggage on an airline flight.[1] [2] [3]
Factory options available included electric starting, a fuel gauge, quieter four-bladed propeller and the capability to carry a second person in tandem.[1]
