The Fresh Breeze Monster is a German paramotor, designed and produced by Fresh Breeze of Wedemark for powered paragliding.[1][2]
Design and development
[edit]The aircraft was designed in the 2000s as a paramotor with greater power to lift heavier pilots and for two-place flying. It features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place or two-place-in-tandem accommodation and a single 28 hp (21 kW) Hirth F-33 engine in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot.[1][2]
