"SD" stands for "Safe & Strong Design".
Design and development
The SD series was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as Canadian and European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive and a 100 to 125 cm (39 to 49 in) diameter two-bladed composite propeller, depending on the model. The fuel tank capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal).
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.
