MODERATORS
starting to lose my mind about this, that is a paramotor, on account of it has a motor
a paraglider has no motor, on account of being a glider
their wings and harnesses are different, a paramotor is not a paraglider with a lawmower engine on it - that wouldn't work, since the pendulum swing forward with the engine on would fuck up the efficiency and function of a paraglider wing
i blame journalists but it's still driving me insane
Is this not a powered parachute?
Yep, but it's definitely not going to be paragliding
Also neither a powered parachute or a paramotor are gliding. Sorry, this was the thrust of your comment and I missed it entirely by getting excited about flying machines.
