The Air Sylphe 447 is a French powered parachute that was designed and produced by Air Sylphe of Villereau, Nord. Now out of production, when it was available, the aircraft was supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]
The company seems to have gone out of business in the end of 2007 and production ended by that date.[2]
