The Luepolan Air Force (Luepolan: Sila Obráňa Vietărska Ľupolska, SOV or SOVĽ) is the aerial warfare branch of the Luepolan Defence Forces. The air force was founded on 5 April 1954, concurrently with the other branches of the defence force. It is tasked primarily with maintaining the integrity of Luepolan airspace. Its inventory includes aircraft of Luepolan, Vierz, and Lyskysten origin.

The Luepolan Air Force participated in the Luepolan War, conducting operations against the Vierz Reichswehr from 1979 through 1981. The Air Force's operational capability degraded until it was rendered combat ineffective by 1983; it was subsequently reconstructed in 1991.

Unlike the army and navy, who have counterparts from the First Luepolan Republic to whom they trace their respective lineages to, the air force designates 1954 as its official founding year to avoid association with the communist era Luepolan People's Air Force.
