Marbella Parapente SL (English: [[Marbella]] Paragliders) was a Spanish aircraft manufacturer based in Málaga and founded by Pierre Aubert. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of paramotors in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European microlight category.[1]
The company seems to have been founded before 1998 and gone out of business in March 2005.[2]
The company was a Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada, a Spanish limited liability company.[1]
Marbella Parapente produced the PAP family of paramotors that were noted for such details as incorporating the reserve parachute within the frame structure.[1]
PAP series paramotors were flown to first-place finishes in the world championships in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.[3]
Pilot Ramon Morillas set a world record in June 1998, flying a PAP paramotor across Spain from the southwest to the northeast over a distance of 6440NaN0 covered in about 11.5 hours.[1]
