  The Airsport Song is a Czech ultralight aircraft, designed by Marek Ivanov and produced by Airsport of Zbraslavice.
  
  ## Design and development
  
  The aircraft was designed to comply with the LTF-L 120 kg, US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and English SSDR categories. It features a cantilever low-wing, twin-booms, a single seat enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The Song has been produced in both a twin–tail and inverted V-tail layout. In most configurations, the Song includes a Galaxy GRS 3/270 ballistic parachute rescue system.
  
  The Song is made from composites. Its polyhedral wing comes in two optional spans: 7.5 m (24.6 ft) (with flaperons) and 11.2 m (36.7 ft) (with ailerons and either spoilers or flaps). Standard engines available are the 20.5 hp (15 kW) Bailey V5 four-stroke and the 35 hp (26 kW) Verner JCV 360 four-stroke powerplant.
  
  Randall Fishman of Electric Aircraft Corporation produces an electric-powered version of the Song, the Electric Aircraft Corporation ElectraFlyer-ULS.
