What happens if the engine quits?
An aircraft engine is a piece of finely built machinery designed to keep running. If the improbably should happen however, you will not fall out of the sky. Your airplane descends slowly in a glide. You simply do what your instructor had you practice during your lessons, select the nearest safe landing site and land. you have a better chance of being struck by lighting than experiencing an aircraft engine failure.
In the event of an engine out condition, the powered parachute continues to glide forward at 26 to 30 mph with descent speed of about 7 mph. Directional steering is controlled through the canopy, therefore, not dependent on the engine power. The pilot steers the very same way whether the engine is running or not.
