Sokopf was an Austrian aircraft manufacturer based in Innsbruck and founded by Uli Sokopf. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of paramotors in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.[1][2]

The company seems to have been founded before 1998 and gone out of business after 2004.[1][2]
The company's line of paramotors, the Sokopf Falke, is noted for its emphasis on high power, rather than low empty weight, unlike many other paramotor manufacturers.[1] In an emergency the entire engine unit can be jettisoned.[3]
