The Fresh Breeze Simonini is a German paramotor, designed and produced by Fresh Breeze of Wedemark for powered paragliding. The aircraft is named for its Simonini 200cc powerplant.[1][2][3]
Design and development
[edit]The aircraft was designed in the 1990s and features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place accommodation and a single Simonini 200cc two-stroke engine in pusher configuration, with recoil starting. The fuel capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal) standard, with 15 litres (3.3 imp gal; 4.0 US gal) optional. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot.[1][2]
The Simonini fits into the company's line in between the Solo 210-powered Solo model and the Hirth F33-powered Fresh Breeze Monster.[1]
