Alliant Aviation LLC was an American
microlight categories. None of the company's aircraft appear on the list of accepted American light-sport aircraft.[1][2]
Alliant was formed about 2003 as a restructuring of Destiny Powered Parachutes. The new company retained the same address in Three Rivers, Michigan for a time, before moving to nearby Richland, Michigan. Alliant was a limited liability company (LLC).[1][3]
The new company showed its first new aircraft, the Alliant Destiny Fusion at Sun 'n Fun, Lakeland, Florida in 2003. The Fusion featured an unusual semi-stressed skin composite fuselage. The company line included the Destiny LT two-seater, Destiny ST single-seater and the Destiny XLT two-seater.[1] In about 2004 the ParaCraft Falcon F-1 was introduced.[4]
The company seems to have gone out of business about 2005.[4]
