Ultralight aircraft, also known as microlight aircraft or pintail aircraft, are a class of simple, lightweight, aircraft that are designed to be operated without a pilot's license and capable of slow flight. Ultralight aircraft have an empty weight of no more than 330 pounds (150 kg) - with fixed gear: no airfoil or brakes; with dual control: maximum 582.5 pounds (265 kg). These aircraft are used for recreational flying purposes and are therefore designed for leisure flying at lower altitudes with non-pressurized cabins. Their lightweight and simple design allows for lower manufacturing costs and easier operation.

Market Dynamics:

The global ultralight aircraft market is driven by growth in general and recreational aviation coupled with rising disposable incomes. Ultra-light aircraft provides a cost-effective means of air travel and leisure flying which is gaining popularity worldwide. However, strict regulatory norms associated with pilot certification and aircraft specifications poses a challenge to industry players. The development of electric-powered ultralight aircraft provides an opportunity to reduce operating costs and dependency on fossil fuels. Innovation in aircraft design to improve performance characteristics like speed and payload capacity can further the market's growth over the coming years.
