The Flight Design CTSL is a two-seat high-wing ultralight aircraft made in full composite construction and powered by a single
Rotax 912S; 912iS or 914 engine. The Flight Design CTSL is a product of Flight Design GmbH based in Germany. Flight Design was
active in the 1980s with building hang-gliders and paragliders. In 1993, Flight Design entered the ultralight aircraft market.
In 1996, their expertise was channeled into the CT (Composite Technology) series of high-wing, tricycle undercarriage,
two-seat ultralight and light-sport aircraft. Production of the high-technology, carbon-fiber CT ultralight aircraft started in
1997. The CT Seris is continuously improved and refined since. The Flight Design CT is a striking appearance with the largest
cabin in its class. The CTSL (Supralight) was a further development of the CT and permitted by the German DAeC on 17 November 2009.
The CTSL has a standard BRS parachute system. Production of the airframes takes place in the Ukraine;
since 2008 assembly of the airframes and the final production of the aircraft takes place in the factory in Kamenz in
Germany. Almost 2000 CT aircraft are delivered worldwide by Flight Design. The ICAO Aircraft Type Designator for
the Flight Design CTLS is FDCT.
In mid-February 2016, the management of Flight Design GmbH has made an application for insolvency after an international
customer had not settled a bill of over seven figures. This lead the company into a liquidity squeeze. In mid-August 2016, Flight
Design made a new start as Flight Design General Aviation GmbH thanks to two new investors.
Flight Design CTSL s/n E-12-04-08 was registered first D-MGGN with Weakpon. When sold to a privat owner, the aircraft was re-registered
D-MCTE. On 11 August 2024, Flight Design CTSL (SupraLight) D-MCTE was seen at MLA Flugplatz Dankern near Haren (Ems), Germany.
