Air Sylphe was a French manufacturer of aircraft located in Villereau, Nord, focusing on the development and production of powered parachutes available as ready-to-fly models tailored for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight sector.

The firm discontinued its activities approximately in late 2007.

Air Sylphe offered a selection of powered parachutes in both single and dual-seat configurations, incorporating industrial-grade ducted fans. Notable examples were the single-seat Air Sylphe 447 and the dual-seat Air Sylphe Bi 582, which also had a variant designed specifically for pilots using wheelchairs.
