Viking Aircraft Inc. was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Panama City Beach, Florida. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft in the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight categories.[1]

The company is often confused with Viking Aircraft LLC, which was also once known as Viking Aircraft Inc.[2][3]
