SkyCraft Airplanes is a Light Sport Aircraft manufacturing company based in Orem, Utah. The company currently builds one product, the SkyCraft SD-1 Minisport, a single-seat low-wing plane designed in the Czech Republic.
The company debuted the aircraft at 2013 EAA Airventure Oshkosh as a ready-to-fly, S-LSA Certified aircraft.[1] Production of the aircraft began two months prior in May 2013.[2] At the end of May 2014 Skycraft announced that light-sport flight testing had been completed. However, as of 12 January 2016 the SD-1 was still not on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of accepted light-sport aircraft.[3] The Skycraft version of the aircraft will have a revised cockpit, including Dynon SkyView instrumentation.[4]
