## Abstract

An electric powered paraglider is provided. An electric powered paraglider includes a frame which includes a plurality of connector points. The electric powered paraglider also includes a propulsion unit mechanically coupled to the frame. The propulsion unit includes at least one propeller and configured to generate a predefined amount of thrust using at least one electric motor. The electric powered paraglider also includes a throttle controller unit physically or wirelessly connected to the flight control unit. The throttle controller unit includes at least three switches. The at least three switches are configured to operate one or more parameters of the paraglider. The electric powered paraglider also includes a power latching unit mechanically coupled to the frame. The power latching unit includes a plurality of batteries. The power latching unit is configured to allow a user to swap the plurality of batteries by implementing a power latching mechanism.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electric powered paraglider, comprising:
a frame comprising a plurality of connector points;
a propulsion unit mechanically coupled to the frame, wherein the propulsion unit comprises at least one propeller, wherein the at least one propeller is configured to generate a predefined amount of thrust using at least one electric motor;
a throttle controller unit mechanically coupled to the frame and a flight control unit, wherein the throttle controller unit comprises at least three switches, wherein at least three switches are configured to operate one or more parameters of the paraglider in one of three modes; and
a power latching unit mechanically coupled to the frame, wherein the power latching unit comprises a plurality of batteries, wherein the power latching unit is configured to allow a user to swap the plurality of batteries by implementing a power latching mechanism.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least three modes comprises at least one of a cruise setting mode, a cruise reducing mode and a cruise cancel mode.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a flight control unit mechanically coupled to the frame, and configured to:
control speed of the propulsion unit by controlling an output power of the plurality of batteries;
maintain a plurality of logs of one or more flights; and
control one or more wired or wireless communications within the electric powered paraglider.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a weight balancing unit mechanically coupled to the flight control unit, and configured to balance the weight of the electric powered paraglider by allowing the user to place the plurality of batteries in a predetermined and optimal manner.
