About the Skyboy

The Interplane Skyboy is an ultralight fixed-wing aircraft originating from the Czech Republic. It is designed as a high-wing monoplane featuring a side-by-side two-seat cabin and a single engine in a pusher arrangement, making it well-suited for flight training and recreational outings.

Originally conceived for the European market as a trainer, the aircraft later expanded into light-sport and advanced ultralight categories across different regions. Its construction centers on an aluminum main structural tube paired with fabric-covered aluminum wings that incorporate Mylar-enhanced leading edges for added stiffness. The cabin combines fiberglass shells with fabric sections and upward-opening doors. Three-axis controls are operated via a central Y-shaped stick accessible from both seats. Distinctive trailing-link main landing gear with shock absorption is utilized. Over its operational history, the type has served in surveillance, aerial photography, and tourist sightseeing roles globally.
