Viking Aircraft LLC is an American aircraft manufacturer based in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. The company specializes in the provision of homebuilt aircraft plans for amateur construction.[1][2][3]

In 1998 the company was known as Viking Aircraft Inc., but in 2008 seems to have been registered as Viking Aircraft, LLC, with Robin M. Taylor as agent.[1][4]

The company sells plans for the Bert Sisler-designed Viking SF-2A Cygnet of which more than 100 were flown by 2003. The company also at one time supplied plans for the Rutan Quickie-derived Bob Walters-designed Viking Dragonfly, of which more than 500 were completed by 2003.[1][2][3]
