What is the maximum air speed a paramotor can attain?
A. Paragliders fly between 12.5 mph (minimum speed) and 28 to 32 mph. and this depends on the type of wing. The ground speed will change depending on the relative direction you are flying within the air mass. Contrary to what you might think, a more powerful engine will not make for a faster ride, but it will offer a quicker climb to altitude. No matter which engine you use, you will always have the same horizontal speed, if you use the same wing.
