The Colomban MC-30 Luciole (English: Firefly) is an ultra-lightweight plans-built single-seat low-wing tail-dragger monoplane, designed by the French aeronautical engineer Michel Colomban, creator of the tiny single-seat Colomban Cri-cri twin-engined aircraft and the MC-100 Ban-Bi two-seat aircraft.

Will would-be investors in a Firefly IPO have their hopes dashed?
The Kolbra was intended as a dual control, ultralight trainer and was created by combining the front half of a Firefly fuselage with the rear fuselage cage of the Slingshot. The front fuselage was then widened by 10.5 in (27 cm) to allow more room for the pilot's feet.
The aircraft was ahead of its time and so Kolb waited until the ultralight aircraft boom of 1980 to incorporate his company, The Kolb Aircraft Company. Initially located in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania the company marketed a wide range of kit aircraft and achieved considerable commercial success, delivering over 3000 aircraft.
