Adventure S series S series Role - Paramotor National origin - France Manufacturer - Adventure SA Status - Production completed The Adventure S series is a family of French paramotors that was designed and produced by Adventure SA of Méré, Yonne for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when they were available the aircraft were supplied complete and ready-to-fly. Design and development The S series (for Simonini) was designed as a heavier and higher-powered series, to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European microlight rules. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 25 hp (19 kW) Simonini Racing engine in pusher configuration with a 2.4:1 ratio reduction drive, driving a 115 to 130 cm (45 to 51 in) diameter wooden, fixed pitch propeller. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. The aircraft is built from aluminium tubing, with a nylon seat and harness. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.
