Thought Powered Paragliders Were Slow? Think Again!

Posted by admin under Articles

Gone are the days where a powered paraglider flies around at 20 mph covering distances that a person could walk or run… Today’s glider technology has beginner safe wings flying over 30+mph at top speed and uncertified high performance gliders hitting top speeds of nearly 50 mph. Master paramotor pilot and flat top creator SUPERDELL has pushed the limit once again with the 8sm Morhpeus Glider. Yes you read that right – 8sm! This paraglider can cruise at over 40 mph at trim speed (slowest configuration) It should do mid 50s or even 60s when setup in full fast mode with speedbar and trimmers. Imagine that! A foot launch able aircraft that can cruise at 50mph. Imagine the look on the fixed wing ultralight pilots faces when you fly by them after running to take off!! Either that or they see you packing up your gear into a small Toyota yaris in 5 minutes and then drive off. The flexibility and portability of these types of aircraft are absolutely amazing!
