The complete company name was La société Air PLUM, but its marketing positioned its Jet Pocket paramotor brand name ahead of the company name and it was most often just called Jet Pocket.[1][2]
The company was founded in 1989 and seems to have gone out of business in 2010.[4] It claimed to have been the first company to commercialize the concept of the paramotor in 1989.[2] Reviewer Rene Coulon wrote in 2003 that "like many of their colleagues, Jet Pocket think that the quality of their products and the internet act as a substitute for a marketing plan."[1]
Company paramotors were flown to first place in the World Paramotor Championships in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, as well as winning many other championships.[3][5]
