The Skyway Light is a German paramotor that was designed and produced by Skyway Products of Ettenheim 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 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 19 hp (14 kW) Skyway T170 engine in pusher configuration with a 2.8:1 ratio reduction drive and a 110 cm (43 in) diameter three-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 11 litres (2.4 imp gal; 2.9 US gal). The aircraft is built from a combination of bolted aluminium and composite material, with the engine mount and fuel tank made from composites.[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]
