Skyrider Flugschule (English: Skyrider Flying School) is a German aircraft manufacturer based in Wernberg-Köblitz, Bavaria. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of ultralight trikes.[1]

In addition to aircraft construction the company also operates a flight training school and collaborates with Ramphos in the design and development of amphibious aircraft. The Skyrider Sonic's trike structure is used in the Ramphos Trident amphibious trike.[1]

The company's trike designs utilize some unusual construction methods. The Skyrider Sonic uses a stainless steel structure and a Smart Car powerplant, while the Skyrider Stingray is built from welded square steel tubing.[1]
