The Volution range benefits from the ParaJet XT180 performance enhanced engine, hailed as a milestone in paramotor evolution.
rnThe XT180 is designed in such away that the electronics, wiring and battery are integral with the engine. Unlike any other paramotor, the engine and electronics unit can be literally plugged into the Volution. Each component has been design and manufactured in-house to exacting standards using the latest CNC machine centres and tube forming technology. Meticulous assembly procedure and small batch production ensures the highest quality control.
rnThe race tuned exhaust system has been developed in partnership with the world’s leading two stroke exhaust manufacturer and is fitted with spiral baffles for efficient noise reduction. The carbon fibre air intake silencers also help to reduce mechanical engine noise significantly. Aerodynaically shaped to increase airflow into the engine, this design is DULV certified.
rnBefore shipment, every engine is fine tuned to its optimum operating efficiency and safety levels in our engine test cells. With the highest levels of reliablity - whatever the flight, whatever the mission, you won’t stop on a Volution.

1. Carbon Air Intake
rnDesigned, manufactured and stringently tested in-house, our carbon intake silencers reduce mechanical engine noise and air intake pulse wave resonance significantly. Aerodynamically shaped to increase airflow into the engine, this design is DULV certified.
rn2. High Performance Engine
rnAt the heart of the Parajet XT180 engine, a precision balanced crankshaft manufactured from high strength EN24 steel and tempered for durability. The bespoke Nickel-Silicon Carbide cylinder casting with its 0.07mm thick coating offers superior wear characteristics and reduced friction. All components are manufactured and assembled in-house with the highest level of quality control. Every engine is fine-tuned to its optimum operating efficiency and safety levels before shipment.
rn3. Electric Engine Start
rnHigh energy 12 vault starter motor built to industry standard for proven reliability and performance. The integral starter battery compartment and electronics case ensures all wiring and components are protected.
rn4. Race Tuned Exhaust System
rnDeveloped in partnership with the World's leading two-stroke exhaust manufacturer - the performance is unmatched, delivering record-breaking power and efficiency. The triple flex-joint tune pipe eliminates vibration induced stress fractures, ensures longevity, zero corrosion and fuel efficiency, while the anodised exhaust muffler fitted with spiral baffles offers the most efficient noise reduction.
rn5. Aluminium Chassis
rnA strong yet ultra-lightweight high-tension aluminium chassis helps improve power-to-weight ratio for enhanced ground handling and in-flight manoeuvrability. Wide profile chassis uprights and laser-cut and pressed aluminium engine mounts provide unmatched rigidity and the highest strength-to-weight ratio just where it's really needed.
rn6. Weight-shift Harness Arms
rnManufactured using the latest CNC machine centres from aluminium billet for high strength and rigidity, the ergonomic weight-shift harness arms improve handling and safety.
rn7. 3-Blade Carbon Propeller
rnThe carbon fibre scimitar propeller blade design offers exceptionally low noise, reduced vibration and high efficiency.
rn8. Unique Aerofoil Cage
rnSpecialised hydro-formed aerofoil tubing, extruded from Duralumin 6082, this alloy and profile off high strength, superior airflow and a unique style to Parajet. Consisting of 3 main cage sections which plug together around the chassis using our unique cage connection system for the fastest 'fold-down' time in the industry - packs away in seconds.
rn9. Ergonomic Fuel Tank
rnAerodynamic and ergonomic fuel tank design maximises airflow from around the pilot and ensures the easiest re-fill operation. Manufactured from semi-transparent high-density polyethylene, it is easy to see the fuel level and is extremely robust.
