The Flight Design CTSL, also known as the Flight Design CT Supralight, is an ultralight and civil utility airplane manufactured by Flight Design.

Summary

“	Flight Design spent the 1980s building hang-gliders and paragliders in Germany, before transitioning to ultralight aircraft in 1993. Then, in 1996, their expertise was channeled into the CT ("Composite Technology") series of high-wing, tricycle undercarriage, two-seat ultralight and light-sport aircraft. Since its arrival, the CT line has been one of the top-selling SLSA in America and several nations across the world, with over 1,900 aircraft flying in 42 countries – a testament to its quality of design, engineering precision, fit and finish. Constructed mostly of carbon fiber and Kevlar, the CT line is light and strong – and undeniably aesthetically-unique, with its sleek, aerodynamic fuselage "pod" inspired by safety innovations in the auto industry, its bubble-like assembly of Plexiglas for exceptional cockpit visibility, and its elegant sailplane-like wingthat boasts a better glide ratio than most certified planes and LSAs. With the CTSL ("Supralight") model, Flight Design evolved their successful design for the Federation Aeronautique Internationale microlight category, without compromise. Utilizing a Rotax 912 to drive a 3-blade Neuform composite prop, this CT is fast on the ground, quick to climb, quiet and efficient. Most important, it's more than just a recreational super-lightweight airplane – it's a joy to fly.	”
