World's smallest aircraft

Does anyone know what the smallest flying aircraft is? If so, what is it, where is it, and any other info about it.

Cheers

The Cri-Cri is the worlds smallest twin engined aircraft. They seemed to have mostly disseapeared now?
The Ward Gnome G-AXEI was the UK smallest aircraft, saw it in a museum about 10 years ago.

There were a few small flying contraptions at Fairford this year.

G-REBA i guess being the smallest. Cant remember make/type etc. Will find a pic later.

There probably is smaller out there though.

the Stitts skybaby flew for about 10 years I think and quite successfully. Would think baggage space would be a bit limited for it to be used as a tourer:)

The Stitts Skybaby biplane has a wingspan of just about 6ft – last time I heard it was in the EAA Museum at Oshkosh. It definately flew, but I don’t know how often or how successfully.

The Cri-Cri must be in the running.
