Tapanee Aviation, Inc. is a Canadian aircraft manufacturer based in Mont-Saint-Michel, Quebec. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of STOL light aircraft in the form of plans and kits for amateur construction.[1][2]

Tapanee Aviation began producing wing replacement kits for the Zenith STOL CH 701 featuring retractable leading-edge slats. Later the company designed a new fuselage to go with the wings, which became the Tapanee Pegazair-80 and the development Tapanee Pegazair-100. Later the two-seat Tapanee Levitation 2 and four-seat Tapanee Levitation 4 models were added, although the Levitation 2 is no longer offered.[1][2]
