The '''Flight Design CT''' series is a family of [[high-wing]], [[tricycle undercarriage]], two seat, [[Ultralight aviation|ultralight]] and [[light-sport aircraft]] produced by [[Flight Design]] (Flightdesign Vertrieb) of Germany. The family includes the original '''CT''' and the '''CT2K''', '''CTSW''', '''CTLS''' and the '''MC''' models.<ref name="Hunt">Hunt, Adam: ''One of aviation’s best kept secrets - Flight Design CT2K – Flight report'', COPA Flight page C-1. [[Canadian Owners and Pilots Association]], October 2004.</ref>

The [[maiden flight]] of the original CT model was performed in March 1996, quantity production of the type commenced during the following year at Flight Design's facility in [[Ukraine]]. Since its introduction, numerous variants of the CT series have been introduced, a total of 400 aircraft were reportedly in use worldwide by 2005. During 2015, in response to rising demand for the type, Flight Design opted to construct a new manufacturing facility in China to produce the type.

==Development== The development of the CT series commenced during the mid-1990s, with work on the programme starting only a few years after the founding of Flight Design in 1993.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> Prior to the CT series, the firm specialised in the design and production of light aircraft, such as [[hang glider]]s and powered [[microlight]]s. The original model, the ''CT'', was specifically designed for the ultralight-microlight (UL-ML) market, and was certified as such by the [[EASA]], enabling the type's sale throughout the European market. While the manufacturer itself is headquartered in [[Stuttgart]], [[Germany]], the company decided early on to locate the CT's production line in [[Ukraine]].<ref name = "flighttest 2005">{{cite web |url = https://www.flightglobal.com/flight-test-fly-off-evektor-sportstar-flight-design-ct-tecnam-sierra-sporting-heroes-/61688.article |title = FLIGHT TEST FLY OFF: Evektor SportStar, Flight Design CT, Tecnam Sierra - Sporting heroes |publisher = [[Flight International]] |first = Peter |last = Collins |date = 19 July 2005}}</ref> In 1997, the same year in which quantity production of the CT series commenced, Flight Design opted to cease manufacture of its other product ranges in favour of concentrating its resources on its newly launched aircraft.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/>

During the late 1990s and 2000s, numerous variants of the original CT were introduced, turning the type into a family of lightweight aircraft.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> By 2005, both the improved ''CT-2K'' and the ''CT-SW'' (the latter featuring a shortened wing), had been launched. During April 2005, the CT-SW was approved by the [[FAA]] under a [[light-sport aircraft]] (LSA) certification, enabling the type to enter the lucrative [[North America]]n market.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> At this point, all aircraft for this market were being imported in a partially-complete state and assembled by the American light aircraft manufacturer [[Flightstar Sportplanes]] prior to sale.<ref name = "flyingmag 2005">{{cite web |url = https://www.flyingmag.com/pilot-reports/pistons/flight-design-ct-no-medical-required/ |title = Flight Design CT: No Medical Required |publisher = flyingmag.com |first = Robert |last = Goyer |date = 1 May 2005}}</ref> The type is capable of use within Germany's UL-ML category, albeit requiring a reduction in fuel load and the mandatory installation of a [[Ballistic Recovery Systems]] (BRS) parachute.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}} By mid-2005, a total of 400 CT series aircraft had been sold worldwide according to Flight Design, resulting in a production backlog of roughly one year while production of the type proceeded at a reported rate of ten aircraft per month.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/>

By 2011, the CT series had been cleared for flight under the microlight/ultralight regulations of numerous countries, including the FAA's LSA rules, Canadian [[advanced ultralight]]<ref name="Hunt" /> and the European [[European Aviation Safety Agency|EASA]] Permit to Fly rules.<ref name="WDLA11" /> During December 2009, the CTLS was granted a type design approval and a production certificate by the [[Civil Aviation Administration of China]];<ref name="Avweb02Dec09">{{Cite web |url = http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/FlightDesignLSAsApprovedInChina_201628-1.html |title = Flight Design LSAs Approved In China |access-date = 3 December 2009 |last = Grady |first = Mary |date=December 2009}}</ref> six years later, a CTLS production plant was constructed in China.<ref name=avw2015-04>{{cite web |first=Mary |last=Grady |url=http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Flight-Design-To-Start-Manufacturing-In-China-223806-1.html |title=Flight Design To Start Manufacturing In China |work=avweb.com |agency=Aviation Publishing Group |date=7 April 2015 |access-date=7 April 2015 }}</ref>

==Design== The CT series was designed for the principal roles of recreational flying, touring and towing; other roles envisaged for the aircraft include light [[aerial reconnaissance|reconnaissance]] and [[surveillance]].<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> It is reportedly due to these secondary roles that much of the aircraft's configuration was selected, such as its high-mounted wing, relatively large windows and detachable doors; the latter feature provides unrestricted views for downward-pointing cameras. Further aspects of the design that improve the pilot's field of view include the aircraft's sizable overhead [[skylight]] that reduces the typical [[Vehicle blind spot|blindspot]] incurred by a high-mounted wing.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> The pod-shaped cockpit is relatively spacious even for a crew of two.<ref name = "flyingmag 2005"/>

The wing comprises a symmetrical [[aerofoil]] and [[cantilever]] construction, which was designed in-house by Flight Design.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> It has an aspect ratio is akin to that of a [[glider (aircraft)|glider]], and is equipped with relatively oversized [[Flap (aeronautics)|flaps]] to generate a high level of lift when required, as well as a pair of integral wing tanks to house all of the aircraft's fuel.<ref name = "flyingmag 2005"/> The CT series features an all-[[Composite material|composite]] construction, the primary material being [[carbon fiber]] mixed with [[Kevlar]], the latter being added for strengthening.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> The use of composites has been attributed with enabling the use of a highly aerodynamically shaped fuselage, in addition to a relatively high useful payload capacity (almost equal to the weight of the aircraft itself).<ref name="Hunt" /> Furthermore, by using composites over a metal approach results in higher costs both to manufacture and repair while providing superior strength and crash-resistance.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/>

[[File:ctsw-g-todg.jpg|thumb|left|A CTSW on static display at [[RIAT]] 2007]] All of the CT series are powered by either a single {{Convert|80|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 912UL]] or {{Convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 912ULS]] engine, which is installed in a conventional [[tractor configuration]].<ref name="WDLA11">Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12.'' WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. pp. 50-51. ISSN 1368-485X.</ref> Typically, the engine drives a three-bladed fixed-pitch [[propeller]], as well as a single generator for powering onboard electrical apparatus.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> Electrical systems include the flight instrumentation, [[VHF]] radio, a [[transponder]], [[GPS]] navigation system, and the electrically actuated [[Flap (aeronautics)|flaps]], the latter having five positions to select for cruise, take-off, and landing. The instrumentation panel features four standard flight instruments, while additional indicators can be optionally installed at the customer's request.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> Climate control of cockpit is achieved via ducted engine air for heating while [[louver]]s provide both cooling and ventilation.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/>

The flight controls are connected via rods to the [[aileron]]s and all-moving [[horizontal stabiliser]], while the [[rudder]] is actuated via cables.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> All three control surfaces can be [[trim tab|trimmed]] via manually operated trim wheels located on the console. Aerospace periodical [[Flight International]] has described the CT series as possessing good control characteristics, noting its particularly favourable qualities across aspects such as control response, mechanical characteristics, and harmonisation.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> One reviewer of the CT2K writing [[COPA Flight]] in October 2004 described the aircraft as "fast, comfortable, roomy and very capable of long cross country flights for little money" and faulted the aircraft only for its difficulty slowing down from its cruise speed of 130 knots to its final approach speed of 50 knots, requiring careful planning to lose 80 knots between entering the circuit and stabilizing the aircraft on final approach.<ref name="Hunt" />

Although the standard and required equipment varies by country, the CTSW features a standard [[Ballistic Recovery Systems]] (BRS) parachute. The BRS can be used to lower the entire aircraft to the ground via a controlled descent in the event of major structural failure, incapacitation of the pilot, or engine failure over mountainous terrain.<ref name="StdEquip">{{Cite web |url = http://www.flightdesign.com/index.php?page=product&p=17 |title = Standard Equipment |access-date = 2 January 2011 |last = Flight Design |author-link = Flight Design |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101122115536/http://flightdesign.com/index.php?page=product&p=17 |archive-date = 22 November 2010}}</ref> The recovery parachute is operated via a handle installed on the rear cabin wall, which is also linked to a fuselage-mounted emergency location transmitter to further aid in recovery efforts.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/> Another novel feature, which is only present on some variants such as the CT-SW model, is a relatively simplistic “wing-levelling” [[autopilot]]; use of this system enables the pilot to conduct limited hands-free/head-in cockpit tasks.<ref name = "flighttest 2005"/>

==Operational history== During 2007, a single example was used by the [[Indian Air Force]] to conduct an around-the-world expedition.<ref>[http://indianairforce.nic.in/expedition/expedition1.php#Intro Indian Air Force Round the Globe Expedition]</ref> Wing Commander Rahul Monga started off on 1 June 2007 and finished the circumnavigation flight on 19 August 2007; a cumulative flight time of 247 hours was logged for the journey.<ref>[http://indianairforce.nic.in/expedition/expedition_detail.php#exeiti Indian Air Force Round the Globe Expedition - Executed Itinerary]</ref>

During 2010, the Air Volunteer Fire Department in [[Bomberos de Cuenca]], [[Ecuador]] took delivery of a CTLS for use as an air support unit for fire fighting reconnaissance. The aircraft is based at [[Mariscal La Mar airport]], 8,300 feet above sea level.<ref name="AvWeb28Dec10">{{Cite news |url = http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/LSAToFightFiresInEcuador_203867-1.html |title = LSA To Fight Fires In Ecuador |access-date = 30 December 2010 |last = Grady |first = Mary |date=December 2010 |work = AvWeb}}</ref>
