This picture shows a Rad pilot flying over the top of Mount Snowdon. To watch the full video please go to the video gallery. Typical performance for a 90 Kg pilot on a RAD Arrow will get you to about 1000 feet above take off in 4 or 5 minutes depending on conditions. For those who like static thrust figures, the RAD Arrow produces about 50Kg, whilst the RAD Javelin produces about 57Kg.
Bear in mind that the best way to judge a motors performance is dynamic thrust, how the motor performs in real conditions. The performance of a propeller in moving air (25 -30 mph when you are flying) is totally different from when you are standing still. Dynamic thrust depends on the correct propeller pitch, diameter and gearing used to convert the engine power to thrust.
What you really want to know, and how all aeroplanes specify performance is climb rate. So we have tested it, and here is a graph showing the typical climb rate of an 85 Kg pilot flying a Rad Arrow up to 1000 Feet in approx 4 minutes. Our time and effort in R&D means you fly the cutting edge in light weight paramotor technology.
