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.

The larger the pilot, the larger the size
of the wing and thrust required to launch. Most individuals in reasonably good
health can foot-launch a paramotor and there are even pilots with artificial
joints foot launching. Individuals that may have issues with the physical
aspect of foot launching may opt to add a trike or quad to their paramotor. A
trike or quad is a platform to which the paramotor can be attached so it can be
launched from wheels like a regular aircraft or powered parachute.

The pilot controls thrust via a hand-held
throttle and steers using the wings brake toggles or stabilo steering, weight
shifting or a combination of the three. It is identical to Paragliding except
it is powered so the use of an elevation or thermals to ascend are not
required. Paramotor wings have evolved specifically for use with power
propulsion, as compared with free flight 'paraglider' wings. Such wings are
typically designed for a higher speed and may incorporate a "reflex"
profile to aid stability in pitch, an idea taken from hang gliders of the
1980s. Paramotor wings typically use trimmers to adjust the Angle of Attack of
the wing to either slow it down or speed it up in flight. Trimmed out allows
the pilot to achieve maximum speed, while trimmed in allows for slower speeds
optimized for launching and landing.
规章制度
在大多数国家/地区中，动力伞驾驶员均遵循简单的规则进行操作，从而免除了飞行员和装备的认证要求。但是，这些法律限制了其飞行的范围-说明飞行员要避开拥挤的区域和较大的机场，以很大程度地降低对他人或飞机的风险。美国飞行员根据联邦航空管理局法规第103部分进行操作。
社团协会
在美国，这项运动主要由美国动力滑翔伞协会（USPPA）**[注1]，该协会也享有一项豁免，允许由经过适当认证的双人教练进行两次训练。美国超轻型飞机协会（USUA）和航空运动连接公司（ASC）也提供了一些支持。
美国的讲师主要由美国动力滑翔伞协会（USPPA）**和认证。其他组织包括动力滑翔伞教练专业协会（***PI）。
在英国，这项运动由英国滑翔伞和滑翔伞协会**，而非正式地由Paramotor俱乐部**。[6]

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.

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]
