FlyNano Nano


The FlyNano Nano is a Finnish electric single seat seaplane, designed by Aki Suokas and produced by FlyNano of Lahti. It was introduced at AERO Friedrichshafen in 2011 and the prototype Proto version first flew on 11 June 2012. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the EC 216/2008 Annex 2 rules for deregulated class under 70 kg empty weight. It features a joined wing box wing, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, a hull for water operations, but no wheeled landing gear and a single electric engine in tractor configuration mounted above the cockpit.
The aircraft is made from carbon fibre. Its span wing has no flaps. The initial plan was to produce several models with different powerplant options, including a two-stroke powered ultralight, a high-powered racing model and an electric model. The company has more recently announced that only the electric model will be produced, citing that "it's quiet, efficient, eco-friendly and it's easy to maintain". The aircraft wing can be removed for storage or ground transportation.
