The NeuraJet Neura Jet is an Austrian paramotor that was designed by Hans Neudorfer and produced by NeuraJet of Senftenbach for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
Confusingly the company name is NeuraJet, while the aircraft model is the Neura Jet.[1][2][3]
Design and development
The Neura Jet was designed as a very light weight paramotor and has an empty weight of 13 kg (29 lb). It 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 13 hp (10 kW) Husqvarna chainsaw engine in pusher configuration with a 4.1:1 ratio reduction drive and a 115 cm (45 in) diameter three-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 6 litres (1.3 imp gal; 1.6 US gal) in a single tank, although earlier models had two tanks, mounted left and right of the engine.[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]
