Flight Design Ct

Single Piston

The Flight Design CT is a German-designed, high-wing ultralight and light sport aircraft that became one of the best-selling LSA models worldwide following its introduction in the late 1990s. Built primarily with composite materials, the CT features a distinctive bubble canopy, side-by-side seating, and a sleek aerodynamic profile that delivers cruise speeds around 120 knots on just 100 horsepower — exceptional efficiency for the category. The CT series (including variants like the CT2K, CTLS, and CTLSi) pioneered the modern LSA market in both Europe and North America, proving that ultralight-category aircraft could offer near-Cessna performance with significantly lower operating costs. Flight Design's emphasis on handling qualities and build quality helped establish the CT as a popular choice for flight training, personal transportation, and recreational flying across Europe, where it often operates under ultralight regulations with relaxed licensing requirements.
