Alliant Aviation LLC was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Three Rivers, Michigan and later in Richland, Michigan. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight categories. None of the company's aircraft appear on the list of accepted American light-sport aircraft.Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04, page 81.

Alliant was formed about 2003 as a restructuring of Destiny Powered Parachutes. The new company retained the same address in Three Rivers, Michigan for a time, before moving to nearby Richland, Michigan. Alliant was a limited liability company (LLC).{{cite web|url=http://alliantaviation.com/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040829232737/http://alliantaviation.com/|title=Alliant Aviation, LLC - FAQS|archivedate=29 August 2004|work=alliantaviation.com|accessdate=9 June 2015}}

The new company showed its first new aircraft, the Alliant Destiny Fusion at Sun 'n Fun, Lakeland, Florida in 2003. The Fusion featured an unusual semi-stressed skin composite fuselage. The company line included the Destiny LT two-seater, Destiny ST single-seater and the Destiny XLT two-seater. In about 2004 the ParaCraft Falcon F-1 was introduced.{{cite web|url=http://www.alliantaviation.com/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050206093649/http://www.alliantaviation.com/|title=Alliant Aviation, LLC - FAQS|archivedate=6 February 2005|work=alliantaviation.com|accessdate=9 June 2015}}
