For more than 25 years the people behind Flight Design have been professionals in sport aviation.
Beginning with hang gliders in the early 1980s, and progressing to light-sport aircraft, Flight Design has approached air sports and the manufacture of its aircraft as professionals.
In close cooperation with its dealers and pilots, Flight Design develops and improves their products. Flight Design employs a team of 30 engineers to design and refine its product line. A team of 600-plus workers in Germany and Ukraine contribute to the high-tech design.
Technical innovations and continuously improved safety characteristics are responsible for Flight Design’s growth. Since production of the high-technology, carbon-fiber CT was launched in 1997, more than 1,800 airplanes have been delivered to customers throughout the world.
Flight Design is committed to bring modern materials, progressive design concepts and safety improvements to the pilot community.
Following flight testing in Germany the CTLSi has its wings removed and is prepared for shipping via sea container. Upon arrival in the USA the airplane is reassembled, inspected and flight tested once more. After issuance of an Airworthiness Certificate from the FAA the airplane is ready for customer delivery.
Here are pictures of my new 2016 Fuel Injected CTLSi, N764AC at various stages of reassembly at Flight Design West, located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
