The Fresh Breeze Twin is a German paramotor that was designed and produced by Fresh Breeze of Wedemark for powered paragliding.[1]

Design and development

The aircraft was designed in the 1990s and features a paraglider-style high-wing, two-place accommodation and a single two-stroke engine in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot, with both occupants running together.[1]

The Twin was one of the first paramotors designed for training use and its tandem seating allows easy communication between instructor and student.[1]
