In actual usage, the term aircraft generally refers to "aircraft" and is often used interchangeably. An airplane is a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft. An ultralight aircraft is a small, lightweight, low-cost aircraft typically used for personal recreational flying or short-distance commuting. In the United States, ultralight aircraft have a maximum takeoff weight of no more than 1,320 pounds (600 kilograms) and can carry up to 2 passengers, as defined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In Europe, ultralight aircraft are called UL (Ultralight), with a maximum takeoff weight of 450kg, which is different from the American definition, but can only carry up to 2 passengers (including the pilot). These aircraft are often made from lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys, composites or fiber materials to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency. Ultralight aircraft typically have simplified operating and control systems, as well as lower maintenance costs, making them easier to use and own. They can take off and land at small airports or private airfields and have shorter takeoff and landing distance requirements.

Ultralight aircraft typically fly at speeds between 100 and 150 mph (160 and 240 km/h) and over distances of several hundred miles (hundreds of kilometers). These aircraft are widely used in private flights, sightseeing flights, aviation training and agricultural spraying.

Ultralight aircraft is a new type of aircraft that developed rapidly in the 1970s. It has a simple structure, light weight, cheap price, easy to fly, and easy maintenance. Therefore, it quickly became popular in some European and American countries and became a sports, entertainment and personal means of transportation. It was also used in agriculture, forest protection, transportation, surveillance and other aspects. Nowadays, more and more aviation enthusiasts in China are flying ultra-light aircraft to fly in the sky.

QYResearch research shows that the global ultralight aircraft market size will be approximately US$168 million in 2023, and is expected to reach US$261 million in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.18% during 2024-2030.
