The weight you’ve achieved sounds pretty good! But the runtime does not—I’ve never used a paraglider, and although I love the idea of finding and riding thermals, I know that I lack the experience to do so. What I really want is to be on par with gasoline engines in the brute-force dept, but with batteries. We are not there yet, but I hope we will be.
Thanks for sharing details! If you are fairly confident in your two-prop design, it might be worth reaching out to one or two paramotor companies to gauge their interest in it. Torque-steer from one big prop is something that all one-prop harness builders are always fighting against, whether electric or not. (I know nothing about building or flying any of these things, or much about business and IP, so disregard at will.). A two-prop engine seems like it’d be much nicer on the eardrums when compared to four. I’ve watched some videos…with the sound turned way down.
