A Unique & Cost Effective Solution
to Manned Aerial Capabilities
Large parts of the United States are rapidly growing and developing, and as such, are experiencing
problems inherent to larger metropolitan areas, particularly those regarding public safety, increasing
criminal activity, and homeland security.
The Parajet is a compact foot-launched
manned aircraft that can provide a
complete perspective and extensive view
of a situation that ground observation
cannot, and provides decision makers
the projected planning, evaluation and
review of critical situations and scene
management. Assisting in ground
operations, the Parajet can be a flexible
tool for providing public safety and
security during activities such as patrol,
surveillance, search and rescue and
crime prevention activities.
With affordable acquisition and low
operating costs, the potential and
capability set of a Parajet provides
a significantly unique and beneficial
advantage to reduce the budgetary and
political constraints associated with
traditional manned observation aircraft.
The added capability of a paramotor
for slow flight, low altitude operation,
and nearly limitless take-off and landing
options promotes a foot-launched
service to a level which cannot essentially
or reasonably be placed in competition
or comparison with helicopter or fixedwing services.
PADSS offers the complete solution
designed to get your personnel into the
air with professional pilot training and
easily maintainable equipment.
PADSS Leasing Programme
The PADSS Leasing Programme is
an affordable way to deliver aerial
capabilities into departments with
minimal barriers to entry, affordable
acquisition costs and ongoing certainty
and predictability of operational
costs. This flexible approach reduces
budgetary and political constraints and
allows the ongoing deployment of latest
technology, ensuring a cost effective
aerial assistance and reconnaissance
capability.
Cost Effective “Eyes in the Sky”
Reactive Fast Deployment
A Parajet is among the most inexpensive manned observation
aircraft available to date. With a low acquisition cost, a Parajet
provides agencies with aerial capabilities that can be deployed at
a much lower operating cost. Parajets provide an alternative for
agencies that can utilise air support but cannot afford the costs
associated with traditional aircraft.
Speed is vital when it comes to emergency situations and
preventing loss of life. The Parajet can be easily put together
and launched from virtually anywhere within minutes from the
time of an emergency call, providing almost instant manned
aerial observation. With a speed of up to 45mph and maximum
flight time of 3 hours, the Parajet provides aerial reconnaissance
with an un-obscured aerial view of large and sometimes isolated
areas not easily accessible by other means.
Case Study - Palm Bay Police
In 2009, the Palm Bay Police Department
become the first law enforcement agency
in the US to deploy a team of airborne
police officers in a unique operation
dubbed SOAR, Search Operations Aerial
Response.
The Department often get called to look
for missing persons or stolen vehicles in
the vast countryside surrounding the city.
On foot, this can take at least 20 officers
a whole day to struggle through the
densely vegetated undergrowth. With
the high costs of a helicopter rendering
the option unviable, the Parajets have
proved themselves an invaluable asset,
providing aerial reconnaissance and
assistance.
Now seen by the department as a vital
part of Palm Bay’s modern approach to
policing, the Parajets continue to provide
a cost effective aerial capability during
police operations.
Parajet - Our Passion, Our Business
All over the World the name Parajet
is synonymous with offering a range
of personal foot-launched aircraft
incorporating the most advanced
technology, ground breaking design and
excellent performance. It is a reputation
that has been built over many years and
one which is regularly reinforced by our
customers.
Our attention to detail is unrivalled. All
Parajets are hand built by experienced
engineers at our purpose built facility
in the UK. Our meticulous assembly
procedures ensure the highest level of
quality and safety controls. Every engine
is fine-tuned and run up in our test cell
before shipment.
At Parajet we have a true passion for
flying and we believe that this is evident
in everything we do; from the continuous
improvement to the quality of our
manufacturing processes, to constantly
striving for product innovation and
customer satisfaction.
“A clever response to the escalating costs of helicopter use.
We don’t have enough activity to support the cost of a helicopter and so using Parajets
are a low-cost and sustainable alternative.”
Lt Joe Eakins, Palm Bay Police Department
Compact & Transportable
Minimal Training
When it comes to practicality, there is no compromise. The
Parajet is designed and built to be lightweight, and once
dismantled can fit into the trunk of a car making it one of the
most compact and transportable aircrafts available. This unique
size advantage allows the Parajet to be stored with no additional
hanger costs and can always be on hand out in the field, ensuring
a rapid aerial response to emergency situations.
Learning to fly a Parajet is quick, easy and safe. Training is
progressive and once you have mastered the basic skills, the
steps to getting into the air are straightforward. Pilot training
takes a minimum of 25 hours spread over several days with
the syllabus covering all aspects of flying including equipment,
safety, flying theory, navigation, weather and air law.

The Parajet Zenith
Performance Engine Options
When it comes to practicality, there is
no compromise. The Zenith is designed
and built to be lightweight, compact and
easily portable. The engine and fuel tank
have been positioned to create superior
airflow, reduced wind resistance and
increased fuel efficiency while offering
the best possible thrust line and in-flight
manoeuvrability so precise, that it feels
like an extension of your body.
With a choice of 2 performance
engines, the Zenith enables you to
refine your airframe even more, to
create a paramotor that is perfect for
your requirements and mission criteria.
The renowned Thor 130 engine offers
smooth power delivery of its 21.5hp,
while the 193cc 2-stroke engine of the
Thor 200 provides improved power and
thrust.
The unique connection system enables
the Zenith to be easily put together,
and once dismantled can fit into a large
suitcase making it one of the most
compact and transportable paramotor
units available. With its efficient plugand-play design, spare parts can be easily
replaced and carried in small, lightweight
packages.
Revo2 Reflex Paraglider
Comes complete with lightweight
harness, 2 x spare cage spars, 2 x spare
outer ring sections and with a choice of
anodized colour options.
As pioneers of reflex wing technology,
Paramania are the leading manufacturer
of paramotor wings. Their Revo2
paraglider is renowned for its extreme
pitch and roll stability, giving pilots
confidence while retaining dynamic and
responsive control. When launching, the
Revo2 gets you quickly off the ground
with minimum effort. Once in the air
it simply absorbs turbulence and is so
comfortable that you soon forget that
there is a wing flying above your head!
