A group of paramotorists were taking off from the beach at Cleveleys and flying along the cost.
7.
These engines are favored for their quick high r.p.m. thrust and low weight, using approximately 3.7 litres of fuel per hour depending on paraglider efficiency
8.
Electrically powered units also exist, though flight duration is considerably limited on the battery's electrical capacity
9.
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
10.
It is identical to Paragliding except it is powered so the use of an elevation or thermals to ascend are not required
11.
Paramotor wings have evolved specifically for use with power propulsion, as compared with free flight 'paraglider' wings
12.
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
