Flight Design, a world leader in S-LSA and certified light plane design, has good news to share regarding production at its production facility located in Sumperk, Czech Republic. The F2 series is a very advanced light aircraft which is available as a Special Light Sport Aircraft and an EASA CS-23 type- certified aircraft. They are built and production test flown in Sumperk, in the Eastern Moravia region of the Czech Republic.
“The best news is that we are really ramping up production in Sumperk after the big task of moving our people and tooling from Ukraine, said Daniel Guenther, Managing Director of Flight Design. We are currently shipping 2 F2-LSA a month to Airtime Aviation, our longtime distributor in the USA.
We have recently moved production of the CT (CTLSi and CT Super) series, which continues to be popular worldwide, to our new partners in Kazakhstan. This allows us to focus more on just the F2 series at Sumperk.” said Daniel.
Flight Design used Sumperk as an R&D and flight test center during the development of the F2 series and also developed the production tooling there. A new production facility was created there in 2023.
“We are very happy to be receiving more and more F2’s said Tom Gutmann Jr. manager of Airtime Aviation. With the extra allowances under MOSAIC we believe that sales will only go up from here as it will increase the utility of the F2-LSA, for existing planes we delivered and especially new built models. The side benefit of the increased production is also improving the quality of the planes as delivered.”
The F2 is an all-composite high wing light plane with many unique safety features including passive stall and spin resistance, a rigid, crashworthy cockpit design and Garmin ™ ESP envelope protection as a part of its advanced, twin-screen Garmin G3X panel. All Flight Design aircraft come with a standard Stratos Magnum Ballistic Parachute System installed.
The FAA’s highly anticipated MOSAIC (Major Overhaul of Special Issuance Certificates) is anticipated to allow much higher gross weights and reduce most speed restrictions for the S-LSA category. Flight Design anticipated the major regulatory overhaul in the design process, which will allow the previously delivered and new production F2’s to benefit for this significant rule change.
