Explorair was a German aircraft manufacturer based in Ebringen, Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg and later in Lörrach in Baden-Württemberg and founded by Mathias Mauch. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes and ultralight trikes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight categories.[1][2]

Explorair seems to have been founded about 2002 and gone out of business in 2004.[3]

The company produced the Explorair Relax MV, a single-seat powered parachute that could be converted to an ultralight trike by substituting a hang glider wing for the parachute wing.[1]
