The Flight Design CTLS
15Pages

Designed for your mission The Flight Design CTLS has defined performance, safety and comfort in the Ultralight, LSA and the EASA-(R)TC classes. The CTLS is also the one of the most popular light aircraft in the world due to it’s innovative design, advanced safety features and state-of-the-art avionics. The CTLS was designed specifically for the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) category and offers many features as standard equipment that are optional on other aircraft. The flexibility of the design is evident from that fact that it can be flown as an FAA/ ASTM SLSA, with a EASA Restricted Type...

The carbon/aramid fuselage on the CTLS is optimized for large internal space for the cabin and to reduce drag while providing cleaner airflow to the stabilizer. The smooth cantilever strutless wing also reduces drag and gives maximum visibility from the cockpit. The proprietary airfoil of the CTLS allows generous internal volume for the fuel tanks and is also structurally efficient. Advanced winglets reduce induced drag, improving climb, cruising range and aileron control at low speeds. The electriсally driven stabilizer trim tab incorporates a flexible elastic hinge, which is...

The Flight Design engineering staff created the CTLS with safety, performance and comfort in mind. A new aircraft should employ modern construction techniques for many reasons. The cockpit's carbon-aramid composite safety cabin helps to protect you and your passenger. The engine mount and carbon fuselage attach points reduce the possibility of engine intrusion into the cabin area. Standard four–point harnesses along with crushable elements of the fuselage construction absorb energy and reduce possible loads to the pilot and passenger. Strong windshield uprights and massive upper...

The CTLS cockpit has been designed following principles used in the passenger cabins of modern cars. Loads are transferred through the passenger area to the crush–zones at the end of the vehicle. The cabin area remains intact while the energy is absorbed in the peripheral areas. The following illustration generalizes the flow of force in the CTLS: • Forces in an impact start from the engine area through the engine mount (1) into the strong A– pillars (2) and to the center structural tunnel (5). • The door sills (3) are designed to transport the loads backwards and into the composite shell....

Production of the CTLS is performed by our young and highly motivated staff in Germany and Ukraine. Along with development of the original CT our own R&D and manufacturing company was created. We are constantly expanding our production capabilities to meet growing worldwide demand for our products. With expansion into certified production authorization, we have been audited and shown compliance to the applicable aviation standards at both facilities. Modern design tools such as CFD, FEA, laser scanning and production molds made with 5 axis CNC mills are now used to make components. The...
