Design and development

The SR 210 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 15 hp (11 kW) Solo 210 engine in pusher configuration with a 2.5:1 ratio reduction drive and a 95 to 123 cm (37 to 48 in) diameter two-bladed propeller, depending on the model. The fuel tank capacity is 6.5 litres (1.4 imp gal; 1.7 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]

In reviewing the SR 210 Rene Coulon wrote in 2003, "Their range of paramotors is of the same calibre as their other services: serious and functional".[1]
