The Flight Design CT2K is a two-seat high-wing ultralight aircraft made in full composite construction and powered by a single
Rotax 912/912S engine. The Flight Design CT2K is a product of Flight Design GmbH based in Germany. Flight Design was
active in the 1980s with building hang-gliders and paragliders. In 1993, Flight Design entered the ultralight aircraft market.
In 1996, their expertise was channeled into the CT (Composite Technology) series of high-wing, tricycle undercarriage,
two-seat ultralight and light-sport aircraft. Production of the high-technology, carbon-fiber CT ultralight aircraft started in
1997. The CT Seris is continuously improved and refined since. The Flight Design CT is a striking appearance with the largest
cabin in its class. The CT2K (2K for the year 2000) was a further development of the CT and introduced in 1999 to comply
with UK microlight regulations. On 30 September 2003, the CT2K was the third of all certified planes in Germany which has
received the new German LTF-UL 472,5 kg certification that was announced on 30 January 2003. Production of the airframes takes place in the Ukraine;
since 2008 assembly of the airframes and the final production of the aircraft takes place in the factory in Kamenz in Germany.
Almost 2000 CT aircraft are delivered worldwide by Flight Design.
The ICAO Aircraft Type Designator for the Flight Design
CT2K is FDCT.
In mid-February 2016, the management of Flight Design GmbH has made an application for insolvency after
an international customer had not settled a bill of over seven figures. This lead the company into a liquidity squeeze. In
mid-August 2016, Flight Design made a new start as Flight Design General Aviation GmbH thanks to two new investors. |
