Smallest Mini Aircraft In The World

To start flying can be very expensive. As the size of an airplane does affect the prices, we have a look at the smallest mini aircraft in the world today. All of the mini aircraft come with an engine and can be operated by a pilot. Some of the mini aircraft engine are in the ultralight aircraft category and some are even compliant with the Part 103 regulation which means you can fly those mini planes without a license in the US. We even found an insane small helicopter for the ones that are more interested in helicopters than in jet.

That thumbnail is the literal definition of "clickbait."

[jtuttle]

I guess Photoshop can make anything possible.

[johnevatt]

This has to be the best clickbait photo I have ever seen congratulations

In reference to the I didn't know Lieutenant Dan had a pilot's license

Some of these planes looks as if there isn't enough wingspan for a liftoff, but they do !!
Great Engineering.

With the twin Williams FJX-1 engines, the CMC Leopard had a *top speed of 540 mph, * not 345 (and this plane was designed in the 1980s). It had a pressurized cabin with a service ceiling of 55, 000 feet and a climb rate of 6, 340 feet per minute. With those specs, *the plane could have flown coast to coast in about 4 hours.* Unfortunately, due to suppliers going out of business, the project became stalled. Eventually, the owner of the project passed away, and it seems likely that this plane will never ever achieve commercial success.

At this point, hey, just flap your arms and you're good as gold!

I love how you concluded the video; flying and fearing for our lives isnt a definition of fun.

[RC-Flight]

I used to work for the company that made the twin engine at the beginning of the video, in the early 80s. In Canada it was called the cricket. In France it’s called the Cri Cri. The wing ribs were made of foam they were cut out then baked in an oven to harden them.

These little guys are way faster than I thought they would be! Must be the short wingspans.

Every kid needs a mini-jet fighter. I could imagine our neighborhood against the Grover street kids, 6 of us against 6 of them, a dozen 12-year olds with wing mounted paintball guns blasting each other out of the sky.

Normally hate YouTube fake thumbnails but this was kinda hilarious.

[californiadreaming]

The Leopard is a fascinating mini-jet. If ever put into production, and if relatively affordable, it would surely attract buyers because with a range of up to 2200 miles it could, theoretically, be used to fly trans-oceanic North America to Europe, with a refuelling in Azores. My my my. Your own personal 2 or 4 seater affordable mini-jet. Yep.

[bexraphaela]

I can't believe that you can get a plane for the price of a small car... That's amazing!

[andrewphillips]

The "Corvair" B-36 is actually the Convair B-36 that the Goblin was designed to accompany.

[jazemkrzysio]

Great fun watching it! Some of them look as if made for legless pilots only!

[Kuhnaydeein]

Going electric doesn’t make your vehicle “zero emissions” because many MANY emissions are created gathering the materials and electricity for the vehicle.

[SLJ]

Electric engines? They are electric MOTORS!

[tylerbonser]

The BD-5J definitely had inspiration from the Me-163. Also "corvair" b36? And it didn't fly during WWII.

Back in the early 80's there was a guy that used to frequent the FBO I worked at at Hawthorne, CA (KHHR) who had built a CriCri (Cricket) that he used to show off at local and regional airshows. I remember that the plane was painted with a green that very much matched the name of the plane... CRICKET. I don't even remember his name, but do recall that he was a pretty big dude and was always impressed that he even fit into the cockpit, much less flown the thing. Last I heard was that this guy died in some sort of incident with the plane.
