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. Matthias Betsch, Flight Design’s managing director, states, “We design and produce every machine by ourselves and, more importantly, we fly everything ourselves.”
 
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.

Flight Design is committed to be the leader in applying modern materials, progressive design concepts and safety improvements to the Light Sport Aircraft category.   The CT is an aircraft capable of flying non-stop from Chicago to NYC, Charlotte to Dallas, London to Frankfurt or Munich to Rome with ease.  The large comfortable cabin and excellent visibility of the CT makes all your flights more enjoyable and a better environment for learning how to fly.  
 
In production since 1997, more than 700 CTs have been delivered to customers, worldwide.  By operating the CT in some of the most challenging conditions on earth, we continue to learn and improve the aircraft we make.   The CT incorporates evolutionary improvements and popular options that make it even better for flying clubs, flight schools and private owners.
 
Aerodynamic improvements to the low speed handling make the CT even easier to fly.  To make the CT safer for all pilots and passengers, we now include a BRS parachute system as standard equipment on all CTs.  The popular Flight Design 3 axis trim system is now standard too.  Sport seats with headrests, more panel space, stronger landing gear and convenient door pockets, rough-field Tundra gear, Dynon Digital EFIS-EMS systems or UMA advanced analog gauge package. Garmin or Honeywell Avionic and Tru-Trak autopilots lets you customize a CT for your type of flying.
A German Airworthiness was first issued in 1997. The Special Light Sport Aircraft FAA Airworthiness Certificate was first issued to a CT in April 2005. Owners are impressed with the high cruise speed, low stall speed, and the giant cabin of the CT. 

The Flight Design CT is sold by distributers and dealers worldwide
