Technic'air was a French manufacturer of aircraft located in Belvès, established around 1998 by Pierre Allet, who had been a French national paraglider champion in 1991. The firm focused on the development and production of powered parachutes as fully assembled aircraft, designed to meet the requirements of US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight criteria.

Active until 2003, Technic'air offered a variety of straightforward and cost-effective powered parachute models. Among these was the Technic'air Fly Roller, notably piloted by Allet during a Mediterranean Sea crossing demonstration. The product lineup also featured the Strato Light, Strato Micro, Fly Roller Light, as well as the two-seat Flyroller Magnum Biplace.

The company's aircraft designs played a role in achieving three world records and were flown by Jacky Moussy when he secured victory at the 1998 French Microlight Championship. Additionally, Technic'air operated a dealership specializing in paragliders and ran CFR Périgord, an ultralight pilot training facility.
