Aeroprakt Ltd. (ТОВ «Аеропракт») is a Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer based in Kyiv and founded in 1991 by Yuri Yakovlev.

[1][5][6] The company was founded as an amateur aircraft design club by Yuri Yakovlev when he graduated from the Kuybyshev Aviation Institute and commenced work at Antonov in Kyiv in 1986.

[4] The company was named after a similar-named the Kuybyshev Aviation Institute student's design bureau (SDB «Aeroprakt»), founded while Yakovlev was there at school.

The prototype was constructed in 1987, using photos of French ULM (ultralight monoplane) «Baroudeur», designed by André Confesson, which was photographed in details at Paris Air Show.

As a result of the design and the political situation at the time, the club became the Kyiv division of Lada-Mononor, a joint Soviet-Finnish venture that was headquartered in Tolyatti, Russia.
