Encyclopedic overview
Huntair Pathfinder Mark 1 ultralight
Ultralight aviation (called Microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1- or 2-seat fixed-wing aircraft. Some countries differentiate between weight-shift control and conventional three-axis control aircraft with ailerons, elevator and rudder, calling the former "Microlight" and the latter "ultralight".
