Adventure F series

The Adventure F series is a family of French paramotor designs that was designed and produced by Adventure SA of Méré, Yonne, for powered paragliding.

Design and development

The aircraft series features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration. Take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. The series was designed for portability and as a result is of small dimensions and light weight. All versions can be disassembled to be transported in the trunk of an automobile or checked as baggage on an airline flight.

Factory options available included electric starting, a fuel gauge, quieter four-bladed propeller and the capability to carry a second person in tandem.
