Chotia Gypsy: The Minimalist “Lawn Chair” in the Sky

The Chotia Gypsy is a rare gem from the golden age of ultralights, designed by John Chotia in the late 1970s. It represents the absolute minimum structure required to fly. Unlike modern airplanes that try to be fast or enclosed, the Gypsy is unapologetically simple: a high wing, a seat, an engine, and the open air. It is famous for its unique appearance and its ability to float on the air like a dandelion seed.
