Gemini Powered Parachutes was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Culver, Indiana. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft under the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.[1][2]

The company was founded by a former employee of Buckeye Industries. It seems to have been founded about 2002 and gone out of business in 2007.[1][3]

Gemini produced a series of single-seat powered parachutes, including the Gemini Classic, Gemini Star, Gemini Ultra Star and Gemini Viper. There was also one two-seat trainer model, the Gemini Twin which had sold 60 aircraft by 2005.[1][2][4]
