The Paraavis Vityaz (Russian: "Витязь", English: "Knight") is a Russia paramotor, designed and produced by Paraavis of Moscow for powered paragliding. The aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
Design and development
The Vityaz 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 or two-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration. Early versions were powered by a Zanzottera MZ 34 27.5 hp (21 kW) motor with a 2.5:1 ratio reduction drive and a 125 cm (49 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. Later versions feature a Simonini Mini 2 Plus of 28 hp (21 kW) or a Simonini Mini 2 Evo of 33 hp (25 kW) and a two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 8 litres (1.8 imp gal; 2.1 US gal), while later versions offer an option of 15 litres (3.3 imp gal; 4.0 US gal). The aircraft is built in two versions, one predominantly from aluminium and the other from titanium.[1][2]
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]
