The Best Off Skyranger (also Sky Ranger, SkyRanger) is a French-designed two-seat ultralight utility aircraft, produced by Best Off, of Toulouse. It is a high-wing conventional monoplane with tricycle undercarriage, and of fabric-covered tubular construction.[1][2]

The Skyranger is also manufactured under licence by Aero Bravo in Brazil, SkyRanger Aircraft in the United States (as a kit), Aeros in Ukraine and at least 150 were built by Synairgie in France, too.[3] Because of the aircraft being manufactured by many companies, names such as Aeros Skyranger, Synairgie Skyranger etc. are used for the aircraft.

Some 900 are flying throughout the world.[1]
