A streamlined Russian paramotor "F117 Stealth Fighter" : Cheesy:

Not sure that the improvement of the drag (low 40 km / h of a paramotor) compensates for the increase in weight ... but comfort in flight must be nice ...

And 2 paramotors made in USA from the "I don't think too much before welding" family:

What is the thing about the front wheel ?? An onboard winch to mount it on a trailer?

And even worse: the paramotor at 2 engines:

About the 2ieme, here is my opinion: no interest, the speed will be limited by the sail but it is less worse than the other assembly that we saw with a reactor turbine :D Are there crazy these emoticon ricains :) The advantage can be a decoration "a little" shorter ... and the elimination of the engine torque (if the 2 engines are contrarorative ... which is not necessarily the case when looking at the photo ...)

A 4-seater Biomotor "Pro Pulsion" paramotor:

I have some doubts about the pilot's ability to pilot correctly between 2 passengers (not necessarily "stable) ... unless the pilot is in front, which would be a 1st in a paramotor cart ...

What about sailing? 60m2 ???

And the 8 places for when?

A nice video of an amateur to show what the paramotor allows:

A fairly nice online simulator based on Google Earth that allows you to fly on almost all sites: https://paraglidinglogbook.com/simulator/

Ideal for reliving a flight or preparing to fly on a not known takeoff.

This is played with the mouse and the thermals are quite realistic (but it lacks a little dynamic I think ...)

I managed to hang a beautiful thermal as soon as the decor that won me + 1200m! Not on hang as well on the sea ice :(

Takeoff on Mont Blanc, posed in Italy, almost 60 km further ...

Well that was for the simulator, I uploaded my real GPS tracks on the same site and I put the videos with you :)
