Powered paragliding, also called paramotoring or PPG, is a form of ultralight aviation in which the pilot wears a back mounted motor, called a paramotor, that provides enough thrust to take off using a paraglider wing. It can be launched from still air on level ground by the pilot alone, with no assistance required.
