Hello there
In the last recent years we have seen the engine sizes of the R447 and R503 going out of production, and nothing coming up to replace them either.
On the other hand there has been a huge development for the Paramotor crafts.
So why not going the way of those small powerpacks and adapting or designing new ultralights which do fit those newer engines.
Topspeed100 is thinkering into this direction, with unconventional ideas for sure, but his direction is right, the word is like the engines available today; downsizing!!!
The ultralights of the 80's and 90's were right with the available engine sizes, but times are changing, so why not the birds too?
Those engine use props up until 130cm or 51" in diameter so why not trying to make the ultralights suit those engines instead of building ultralights were engines are getting rear?
