CT SUPER

THE ULTRALIGHT

 
The Flight Design Ultralight Series has defined performance, safety, and comfort in the Ultralight classes from the very beginning. The current Super Series as a derivate of the well-known and successful CT Series is also one of the most popular ultralight aircraft in the world due to its innovative design, advanced safety features, and state-of-the-art avionics. Basic model price: €88.900
 
The Super Series was designed specifically for the Ultralight category and offers many features as standard equipment that are optional on other aircraft. The flexibility and durability of the basic airframe design are evident from the fact that it can be flown as an FAA / ASTM SLSA! Flight Design has continuously improved the CT-Series since its introduction in 1997 and it has flown around the world 3 times. ultralight-aircraft

Four models – four engine choices!Depending on your specific requirements and preferences, choose either the well–proven, industry–standard Rotax 912UL(S), developing a reliable 80 or 100 hp with twin carburetors, or the fuel–injected, Rotax 912iS, featuring a robust 100 hp with the fuel/air mixture precisely computer controlled for ultra–smooth power delivery, improved high altitude performance, more useful torque, reduced emissions and improved fuel economy. The 912iS modern fuel injection also results in surer, easier starts, lower maintenance and lower operating costs all the way to its 2000-hour TBO. For flying in “hot and high” conditions, where a normally–aspirated engine will be challenged to maintain power at altitude, Flight Design offers the advantages of turbocharging with the Rotax 914 Turbo engine, able to maintain its 115 hp in altitude. Wherever you fly, Flight Design has engine power choices best suited to your exact requirements.
