Title

PARAVENTURE, INC. PARAPLANE POWERED PARACHUTES

Description

Performance Specifications based on 170 pound pilot(s) flying at sea level in standard atmospheric conditions with no wind. Specifications subject to change without notice.

Aeronautical Engineer Matthew Dautle designed the two-seat Golden Eagle for ParaPlane International Corp., in September of 1996, as the world's first TiltBar™ steerable (weight shift) powered parachute. Distribution on this model continued until ParaPlane closed its doors permanently in January 1998. Retaining the design rights to the plane and joined by fellow ParaPlane employee Cindy Rancourt, Dautle incorporated Paladin Industries, Inc., in July 1998 to continue production of the Golden Eagle as well as to maintain a business platform for future design in the field.

Sales went well and in September of 1999 a new plane was introduced to the public. The Hercules is the world's most powerful powered parachute. Continuing to incorporate the unique TiltBar™ steering, the Hercules uses a 110 horsepower engine and large 560 square foot parachute to provide lift to over 1,000 pounds gross weight. In April 2000 the light, single-seat Sparrow was added to the product line, returning to the simple, economical designs so popular from the origins of the sport of powered parachuting.
