Best Answer

The US FAA's description of an ultralight aircraft is quite different from other countries. It is stated that a powered ultralight is a single seat plane with a fuel capacity of less than 5 US gallons. The empty weight must be less than 254 pounds and a top speed of 64 miles per hour. These powered ultralights are only allowed to fly in the daylight over unpopulated areas. The unpowered ultralights such as hang gliders must be up to 155 pounds but are allowed extra weight for parachute systems and amphibious landing gear.
