The Micron was the second of two human-powered aircraft designed and built by Peter Wright, an engineer from Melton Mowbray, England.

The low wing loading of that design affected the flight opportunities which could be made.

The design of his second human-powered aircraft, the Micron, began in 1974 with the intent that it be robust and practical; to this end, it had a relatively high wing loading, thereby increasing flight opportunities.

[5] A month later it was reported that the Micron was undergoing trials at RAF Cranwell, and was being hangared there alongside the Jupiter and Mercury human-powered aircraft.

[4] The website Human Powered Flight reports that the craft was later converted into a single-place sailplane, which was based at the Buckminster Gliding Club.
