The Flight Design CT2sw is a single engine, two-seat high-wing ultralight
aircraft. The Flight Design CTsw is made in full composite construction
and is powered by Rotax 912/912S engine. The Flight Design CTsw is based on the CT2K a
product of Flight Design GmbH based in Germany. Production of the high-technology,
carbon-fiber CT (Composite Technology) ultralight aircraft started in
1997. The Flight Design CT was 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;

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.
