Skyrunner Powerful

The Powerful was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 28 hp (21 kW) Zanzottera MZ 34 engine in pusher configuration with a 2:1 ratio reduction drive and a 110 to 125 cm (43 to 49 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 8.5 litres (1.9 imp gal; 2.2 US gal).^[1]

A smaller reduction drive ratio and two corresponding propellers were also offered as factory options.^[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]
