Apparatus and method for paragliders

This invention describes a device to help paragliders move forward using thrust. It attaches to the front of the user's body. The core idea involves two thrusters mounted on opposite ends of a rigid bar, which can also include weights to help steer.

Why it matters: Battery energy density and electric motor efficiency have significantly improved since 2012, making compact, powerful personal propulsion more viable. This could enable longer flight times and lighter designs.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateThrusters, power, control electronics, custom harness
