Gemini Powered Parachutes was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Culver, Indiana. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft under the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.[1] [2]
The company was founded by a former employee of Buckeye Industries. It seems to have been founded about 2002 and gone out of business in 2007.[1] [3]
