Time To Fly Backplane SL

The Time To Fly Backplane SL is a Lithuanian paramotor that was designed and produced by Time to Fly of Kaunas for powered paragliding.

[1] The Backplane SL was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations.

It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 26 hp (19 kW) Simonini Mini 2 Plus engine in pusher configuration with a 2.4:1 ratio reduction drive and a 122 cm (48 in) diameter three-bladed composite propeller.

[1] As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot.

Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.
