The Airfer Titan is a family of Spanish paramotors that was designed and produced by Airfer of Pontevedra for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when the line was available the aircraft were supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
Design and development
The Titan was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single Falcon 18 to 20 hp (13 to 15 kW) engine in pusher configuration with a 2.2:1 or 3.42:1 ratio reduction drive and a 99 to 122 cm (39 to 48 in) diameter two-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 9 litres (2.0 imp gal; 2.4 US gal). The aircraft is built from a combination of aluminium tubing, with a titanium chassis.[1]
As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.[1]
