Flightstar Sportplanes was an American aircraft manufacturer based in South Woodstock, Connecticut.

Its primary product was the Flightstar line of ultralight and two-seat training and light-sport aircraft, which were produced continuously from the mid-1980s.

The Flightstar was intended for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category with its maximum 254 lb (115 kg) empty weight requirement.

The aircraft replaces the standard Spyder's normally-fitted two-stroke engine with a Yuneec Power Drive 20 20 kW (27 hp) electric motor and two 28 lb (13 kg) lithium-polymer battery packs which provide a 40-minute endurance.
