G-Aerosports Archon (Greek: Άρχων) represents a category of lightweight aircraft engineered and manufactured by G-Aerosports, an aviation company located in Florina, Northern Greece[1][2][3].
This model adopts the design characteristics typical of fifth-generation fighter jets[4][5][6][7][8][9]. The initial variant, a single-seater designated as SF/1, completed its maiden flight on June 11, 2009.[10] It is available primarily as a kit for assembly by customers, although two fully assembled units have been produced. In 2020, a licensing agreement was established with Fisher Flying Products to enable manufacturing in Canada for distribution across North America.[11][12]
The SF-2T, a two-seat variant, undertook its inaugural flight on April 4, 2022. By 2023, it was incorporated into a licensing arrangement with Fisher Flying Products for production purposes. Additionally, a license production contract was executed for the Australian market.[13]
