Etymology

The term 'microlight' emerged in the 1980s, derived from 'micro-' meaning small and 'light' referring to weight. Initially, microlights began to gain popularity in Europe as a solution to recreational flying needs, allowing for simpler and less regulated air travel. The definition and standards surrounding microlights vary from country to country but generally describe aircraft that are lighter than traditional light aircraft, with specific limitations on weight and speed to ensure safety. As aviation technology advanced, designs became more sophisticated while maintaining a focus on accessibility for general aviation enthusiasts.
