The Spartan DFS Paramotor is an American paramotor that was designed and produced by Spartan Microlights.[1][2]

Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules. It features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place accommodation and a single 28 hp (21 kW) single cylinder, two-stroke air-cooled Hirth F-33 engine in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot.[1]

The designation DFS stands for Dual Face System and the powerpack can be used with either a paraglider or hang glider wing.[1]
