D5T has commercialized a foot-launched Long Range Powered Parafoil uniquely manufactured using rotational molding (rotomolding). This innovative approach has never been applied to paramotor or airframe design. Rotomolding the airframe provides the user(s) with a stronger, lighter weight, more efficient, and less expensive method of manufacturing paramotors. D5T proposes to bring the insight, technical knowledge, experience, and industry contacts of creating this first of its kind, foot-launched paramotor to a wider DoD audience by developing this rotomolded concept into a 4-wheeled, tandem sized, paramotor frame that is adaptable to many missions and uses for the DoD, as well as the civilian market. Some of these uses include: Infrastructure and agriculture inspection; Search, rescue, and recovery; Law enforcement; Wildlife management and observation.
