Parajet spent an exciting weekend at this year's Coupe Icare Festival of Flight, the biggest ultra-light aircraft event on the paramotoring calendar.

Coupe Icare is the number one consumer ultra-light aircraft event and is held in the beautiful setting of St Hilaire-du-Touvet, France. Attracting over 80,000 people and celebrating all forms of foot-launched airsports, the 3-day event allows visitors a unique opportunity to see, try and buy the latest array of aircraft and accessories.

On the ground, Sales Manager Tom Prideaux-Brune was present to showcase the Parajet Zenith, an innovation in paramotor design. The Zenith is lightweight, with a totally CNC-manufactured chassis combined with highly responsive flying characteristics and pulled in a lot of interest from the eager and receptive crowd.  Alongside the Zenith was the Red Bull branded Parajet Volution 2 paramotor with its super-strong aerofoil structure and renowned chassis.

“The festival was awesome,” comments Prideaux-Brune. “With the large number of visitors to our stand it was a great platform for us to showcase the Parajet range. It was great to interact with both new and existing customers. There was a really buzzing atmosphere and the team really entered into the spirit of the festival and enjoyed some fantastic paragliding during their downtime. A brilliant way end to a successful and busy summer for Parajet!”
