StatusProduction completed

The Back Bone Silver is a French paramotor that was designed by Thierry Simonet and produced by Back Bone of Tallard for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]

Design and development

The Silver 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 with a 22 hp (16 kW) RDM 200 engine in pusher configuration with a 4:1 ratio reduction drive and a 130 cm (51 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. Empty weight is 17 kg (37 lb) and the fuel tank capacity is 9 litres (2.0 imp gal; 2.4 US gal).[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]
