The Paraavis Mirage is a Russian paramotor that was designed and produced by Paraavis of Moscow for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
Design and development
The Mirage 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 21 hp (16 kW) Cors'Air M21Y engine in pusher configuration with a 2.6:1 ratio reduction drive and a 115 cm (45 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 8 litres (1.8 imp gal; 2.1 US gal). The aircraft's propeller cage is built from titanium to give high strength at low weight, as is the propeller leading edge protection.[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]
Reviewer Rene Coulon said of the design, "with a Cors'Air engine, its strength power and flexibility are an ideal compromise."[1]
