Wasp Flight Systems (often called just Wasp Systems) is a British aircraft manufacturer based in Kendal, Cumbria and run by Chris Taylor. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of powered hang gliders in the form of ready-to-fly motorized harnesses for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European microlight category.[1]

The company was founded in 1998.[2]

The company's sole product is the Wasp SP, a powered hang glider unit. This has gone through several generations of development, including the Wasp SP Mk2, introduced in 2002 and the current production version, the Wasp SP Mk4.[1][3]
