Jet Pocket—initially known as Air PLUM—was a French manufacturer of aircraft, originally located in Chantelle, Allier before relocating to Fourilles. Established in 1989 by Phillippe Jeorgeaguet, who was a two-time world champion in paramotoring (1999, 2000), the company focused on the development and production of ready-to-fly paramotors that met both US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and European microlight standards.

Although officially named La société Air PLUM, the enterprise emphasized its Jet Pocket brand identity in promotional efforts. Jet Pocket asserted that it was the pioneer in bringing paramotors to market in 1989 and maintained a dominant position in competitions, with its paramotors winning the World Paramotor Championships consecutively from 1996 through 2000, along with multiple other accolades.

The product lineup featured models equipped with engines such as the Zenoah G-25 (marketed as the Jet Pocket Top Must), Solo 210 (known as the Jet Pocket Top 210), and Per Il Volo Top 80 (referred to as the Jet Pocket Top 80). While their products were well-regarded and supported by an online presence, industry commentators highlighted a deficiency in formal marketing tactics. The company discontinued operations approximately in 2010.
