The Bailey V5 is a British paramotor, designed and produced by Bailey Aviation of Royston, Hertfordshire for powered paragliding. The aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1][2][3]
Design and development
The aircraft 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 20.5 hp (15 kW) Bailey V5 engine in pusher configuration with a 3.2:1 ratio belt reduction drive and a 130 cm (51 in) diameter Helix Carbon GmbH two-bladed carbon fibre propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 11.5 litres (2.5 imp gal; 3.0 US gal). The aircraft is built from TIG welded aluminium tubing, with the propeller safety cage made from a single hoop and is a four-piece split type design. The pilot harness was designed by Bailey Aviation and Sup’Air of France. A variety of paraglider wings can be used.[1][3]
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.[3]
