FlyNano OY was a Finnish aircraft manufacturer based in Lahti. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of single-seat seaplanes built from carbon fibre. The company's first product, the FlyNano Proto was first flown on 11 June 2012 and first customer deliveries had been expected in 2013.[1][2][3][4]
The company's chief designer, Aki Suokas, previously designed several successful sailplanes and light aircraft, including the Eiri-Avion PIK-20, Valmet PIK-23 Towmaster and the PIK-27.[1][3]
By 2022 the company website domain was for sale and it is likely that the company ceased operations in about 2020.[5]
