The Av8er Orbiter is a British paramotor that was designed by Paul Taylor and produced by Av8er Limited of Woodford Halse , Northamptonshire for powered paragliding . Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
Design and development
[ edit ]
The Orbiter 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 engine in pusher configuration . The aircraft is built with special attention to balancing and vibration isolation. The cage assembly includes small wheels to ease ground movement of the motor unit.[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]
