A paper plane, piloted by a child is even lower than these and many researchers are working on Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) that works the size of the insect rivals.
We do however believe that this question is controlled by the smallest manned aircraft in the world, or the small plane from a human pilot on board. This category also can be confusing, because they might vehicles such as gliders and ultra lights, but we limit our discussion to other types of conventional aircraft. This definition leaves us with three main groups of aircraft designers who competed with each other to build and operate the "world's smallest plan" at the end of the Second World War.

The first aircraft, named it became known as the Wee Bee. The tiny plane was designed, built and flown by Ken Coward, William Hanna and Karl Montego in San Diego, California, in the 1940s. Slightly more than 14 feet (4.25 m) long with a wingspan of only 18 feet (5.5 m), Wee Bee was powered by a piston engine of 30 horsepower and can reach (90 kg) to £ 200, including the pilot and fuel. The weight is by asking the driver was minimized in the prone position on the fuselage.
Only one example of the unusual Wee Bee was built, which makes its first flight in 1948. The Wee Bee was later placed on display at the San Diego Aerospace Museum, but was in a fire that destroyed the museum lost in 1978. A replica will replace the original destroyed. The makers of Wee Bee also have a small company called Bee Aviation Bee craft or, what to build to a larger version called the bee trained. With a wingspan of 28 feet (9.5 m), the bee could lead to a single pilot sitting in a much more comfortable and classic.
On the trail Wee Bee was an even smaller plane Stets called Junior. Designed by Ray Martin and Stets Young’s was Junior of the components of an excess of the Second World War Taylor craft L-2 reconstituted. The junior was about 11 feet (3.4 meters) long and had a wingspan which varies from 8.8 to 9.3 feet (2.7 to 2.8 m) in three different modifications. Performance was announced by a rotary engine 36-75 hp junior a top speed of 150 mph (240 kHz) is provided.

Also competing to build small aircraft stets the world in the 1940s, Wilbur Stab, was an engineer who lives near Los Angeles. The belief that he has a level lower than junior began to build, Stab development and construction of a small monoplane named Little Bit. Only 11 meters ft (3.4 m) long with a wingspan of only 7.5 (2.3 m), weighed only 390 pounds low (177 kg) empty. Unfortunately, the aircraft has never been successfully implemented and was removed as a "danger to life and physical integrity of Wilbur Stab." The parties, who later became a biplane with a 13 ft reused (4 m) wingspan.

But the challenge Stets Stab only encourages and co-builder Robert Starr, to build a new aircraft smaller than the junior or something. Known as the sky Baby, the new plan differs from previous entries in the field by adopting a double-decker design rather than a monoplane.

This change has the size to just over 7 feet (2.1 m) is reduced. With a maximum length of 10 feet (3 m), the child weighed only 452 pounds sky (205 kg) when empty and 666 pounds (302 kg) at full load. Its 65 hp piston engine has the baby the sky at a speed of 185 mph (300 kHz). Robert Starr pilot flew the baby in the air shows from April to November 1952, and the aircraft was the National Air and Space Museum in 1972. The baby is in heaven Experimental Aviation Association Air Venture Museum of the Oshkosh, Wisconsin displayed.
