	All about Powered Paragliders > Powered Paragliding FAQs on Getting Started
		Powered paragliding is a relatively new form of foot launched, ultralight, sport aviation in which a paraglider wing is used as a source of lift and a backpack motor, known as a paramotor, is utilized as a source of thrust.
