Polini ParamotorSee the Miniplane Polini Paramotor HERE!Polini Racing Motori, famous Italian manufacturer of racing engines, enters the Powered Paragliding market in 2010 with the Polini Thor 100. This engine features advanced technical solutions. It was projected to achieve the best weight-power ratio but, at the same time, to optimize the thermal and moving parts functions. The cooling system was studied with great care and Polini opted for the forced air. The transmission group includes the clutch in oil bath with maximum stability. The unceasing research, the constant development, together with the experience acquired during the races, set up THOR, the new 2 stroke paramotor engine proper for the Powered Paragliding. The project was born from the studies and the planning skills of the R&D’s technicians who were able to find out the possibility to manufacture a compact and light 2 stroke engine. Afterwards the developments and the perfect set up were possible thanks to the testing technologies and to the test benches available at Polini together with the know-how acquired during many years of experience in the racing world. At the end of assembly line, the engine is always tested on the test bench at the fly conditions with the propeller mounted: they calibrate the carburation and after a running-in cycle Polini measures the maximum thrust value provided by the propeller. The thrust value must respect a short tolerance range to pass the final inspection and it must be able to grant a high performance constancy between all the engines produced. This test bench was developed expressly for this engine. Through a charge cell with digital visualizer together with a digital revolution indicator we can measure the thrust at every rpm. In this way Polini is able to test different propellers to achieve the best thrust and the most performing propeller.
