The term was first used by Englishman Mike
Byrne in 1980[1] and popularized in France around 1986 when La Mouette began
adapting power to the then-new paraglider wings.
Power plants are almost exclusively small
two-stroke internal combustion engines, between 80 cc and 350 cc, that burn a
mixture of gasoline and oil. These engines are favored for their quick high
r.p.m. thrust and low weight, using approximately 3.7 litres (1 US Gal.) of
fuel per hour depending on paraglider efficiency, the weight of unit plus
pilot, and flying weather conditions. At least one manufacturer is producing a
4-stroke model favored for its strong lower r.p.m. thrust and better fuel
efficiency. Electrically powered units also exist, though flight duration is
considerably limited on the battery's electrical capacity. Csaba Lemak created
the first electric PPG, flying it first on 13 June 2006.[2][3] Wankel rotary
engined paramotors are also available, but rare.

在包括美国在内的许多国家/地区，对动力滑翔伞的管制很少，不需要执照。这种飞行的比较大优点是能够安全低空飞行和缓慢飞行，“开放”的感觉，**少的设备和维护成本以及便携性。[1]
动力滑翔伞通常在15到50英里/小时（24到80公里/小时）的飞行速度下，从“在水上拖曳脚踏”到大约18,000英尺（5,500 m）或更高的高度，尽管大多数飞行是在500英尺以下完成的（150 m）AGL。[2]由于动力伞的慢速前进速度和柔和的机翼特性，在大风，湍流或激烈的热活动中它并不安全。
起飞期间，飞行员会支撑重达45至90磅（20至41千克）的动力伞。短暂运行（通常为10英尺（3.0 m））后，机翼将电动机及其吊带飞行员抬离地面。起飞后，飞行员进入座位并像钟摆一样悬挂在充气的滑翔伞机翼下方。可使用制动拨动（用于横滚）和手持节气门（用于俯仰）进行控制。
动力滑翔伞在**中得到了巨大的发展，包括在许多**中部署了特种**士兵以及边境巡逻队。黎巴嫩空降团于2008年采用了这种技术，美国陆军和埃及陆军已经使用了Paramotor Inc FX系列装置多年。 温州飞行动力伞住宿
A powered paraglider trike landing
Lightweight carts or "trikes"
(called "quads" if they have four wheels) can also be mounted on powered
paragliders for those who prefer not to, or are unable to, foot launch. Some
are permanent units.
In the United States, if the aircraft meets
the ultralight definitions, no license is required. In the UK, trike-mounted
paramotors are still classified as 'self-propelled hang-gliders' if the
"performance of the aircraft remains equivalent to one that can be
foot-launched." [7]. However, even in these countries, if the machine has
two seats it is no longer an ultralight. In the US such a craft would be governed
under the Sport Pilot rules and regulated as a light sport aircraft powered
parachute which requires an aircraft N-number and pilots must be licensed.
Safety and regulations
Research estimates that the activity is
slightly safer (per event) than riding motorcycles and more dangerous than
riding in cars.[3] The most likely cause of serious injury is body contact with
a spinning propeller. The next most likely cause of injury is flying into
something other than the landing zone.[4] Some pilots carry a reserve parachute
designed to open in as little as 50 ft (15 m).
The lack of established design criteria for
these aircraft led the British Air Accidents Investigation Branch to conclude
in 2007 that "Only when precise reserve factors have been established for
individual harness/wing combinations carrying realistic suspended masses, at
load factors appropriate to the maneuvers to be carried out, can these aircraft
be considered to be structurally safe"[5]
Noise
Paramotor noise relative to an observer
depends on distance, loudness, frequency and timbre of the power unit. Most
noise comes from the propeller and slow rpm is perceived as the quietest.
Pilots mitigate their sound impact by leaving a noise-sensitive area at low
power, keeping the farthest practical distance away, and reducing time spent
near the area.
License and training
Neither a license nor specific training is
required in the U.S., U.K. or many other countries. Where there is no specific
regulation (e.g. Mexico), paramotor flying is tolerated provided the pilots
cooperate with local officials when appropriate.[citation needed] In countries
where specific regulation exists, such as Canada, France, Italy, and South
Africa, pilots must be trained, both in flying theory and practice, by licensed
instructors. Some countries that require formal certification frequently do so
through non-government ultralight aviation organizations.
Regardless of regulations, powered
paragliding can be dangerous when practiced without proper training.

For a pilot to get through most
organizations' full pilot syllabus requires between 5 and 15 days which, due to
weather, may include far more calendar time. A number of techniques are
employed for teaching, although most include getting the student familiar with
handling the wing either on the ground, via towing, small hills, or on tandem
flights.
With special gear it is possible to take a
passenger (tandem), but most countries, including the U.S., require some form
of certification to do so.
