It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single Falcon 18to engine in pusher configuration with a 2.2:1 or 3.42:1 ratio reduction drive and a 99to diameter two-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is . The aircraft is built from a combination of aluminium tubing, with a titanium chassis.[1]
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.[1]
