# Mac Pasha

The Mac Pasha (from the Turkish title) is a Czech two-place paraglider that was designed by Peter Recek and is produced by Mac Para Technology of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. It remained in production in 2016 as the Pasha 5.

## Design and development

The Pasha was designed as a tandem glider for flight training. The design has progressed through five generations of models, the Pasha, Pasha 2, 3, 4 and 5, each improving on the last. With two sizes, the Pasha 5 models are each named for their approximate wing area in square metres.
