**Polaris Motor srl** was an Italian aircraft manufacturer based in [Gubbio](/source/Gubbio). The company specialized in the design and manufacture of [ultralight trikes](/source/Ultralight_trike) and was known for its [inflatable boat](/source/Inflatable_boat) trikes.[1][2]

One of the company's first products, introduced in the early 1980s, was the [Skin](/source/Polaris_Skin), a conventional land trike that remained in production though 2013. The [FIB](/source/Polaris_FIB) ("Flying Inflatable Boat") established the company's reputation in pure [flying boat](/source/Flying_boat) form and in its [AM-FIB](/source/Polaris_AM-FIB) amphibious form.[1][2]

The company carried out continuous development of its boat hulled aircraft, including refining the boat hull shape over time to improve performance on the water and in the air.[1]

By 2014 the company website was listed as "under construction" and then was taken down, and the company was out of business. It went bankrupt in 2019
