The TL Ultralight TL-3000 Sirius is a hing-wing carbon composite two-seat aeroplane. TL Ultralight manufactures the TL3000 Sirius in both Ultralight and LSA versions. The Czech company TL Ultralight started in 1990 with the production of trikes. Their first ultralight was the TL-32 Typhon, of which since 1991 over 300 were produced. This type of aircraft was followed by TL 132 Condor. The TL-232 Condor Plus was a further development of the TL-132 Condor. In 1996, TL Ultralight designed a complete new type: the TL-96 Star, a high performance glasscomposite aircraft. The development took 2 years and for TL it meant the transition to complete new materials and technology.
