Sun Flightcraft (formally Pro-Design & Sun Flightcraft) is a former Austrian aircraft manufacturer based in Innsbruck, founded by Herbert Hofbauer. The company at one time specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.[1][2]
Founded in the early 2000s as a division of Hofbauer GmbH, the company stopped production of its powered parachute design, the Sun Flightcraft Air-Chopper, in about 2008, although it still supplies parts for the design.[3][4]
The Air-Chopper was noted for its innovative use of the contra-rotating Coax-P aircraft propeller design to eliminate torque effects.[1]
The company continues as an aircraft importer for Airborne Windsports ultralight trikes from Australia as well as a dealer for the Aeropro Eurofox, B&F Fk9, B&F Fk14 Polaris, Evektor Eurostar, TL Ultralight TL-2000 Sting and the Flight Design CT series of aircraft designs, in addition to Rotax aircraft engines.[4]
