French aircraft manufacturer
Aero Nord ULM (ultra-léger motorisé, English: motorized ultralight ) was a French aircraft manufacturer based in Lorgies , and later in Bénifontaine . The company specialized in the design and manufacture of paramotors in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft in the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European microlight category.[ 1]
While no longer an aircraft manufacturer, the company continues as an ultralight aircraft flight school using autogyros and ultralight trikes , as well as a dealer for Aeros products, with Frédéric Bastien as chief instructor.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
In the mid-2000s the company manufactured a line of paramotors called the Aero Nord AIR . Reviewer Rene Coulon wrote in 2003 that the design "shows good understanding of the market and skill in the production" and noted that the series had attracted "considerable attention".[ 1]
