Ultralight Vehicle (PPG)
A Powered Paraglider (PPG) ultralight vehicle is also a flexible winged, ultralight vehicle used for recreational purposes. A PPG Trike combines a three or four wheeled cart structure that holds pilot and motor with a paraglider. While similar to a PPC wing, the Paraglider wing is a higher performance airfoil which can be used for foot launched free flight, and is capable of soaring flight in thermals or ridge lift. Like a PPC, the PPG inflates the wing by moving forward with the thrust from the motor. The airfoil shape of the paraglider is maintained in by the forward movement of the Trike through the air.
