  The BP Parawing is an American paramotor/powered parachute designed and produced by Spartan Microlights.
  
  ## 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 or optionally two-place-in-tandem accommodation and a single 28 hp (21 kW) Hirth F-33, 15 hp (11 kW) Hirth F-36 or 14 hp (10 kW) Radne Raket 120 engine in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot, although this aircraft can also fit optional wheels.
