With a 50-inch-wide cabin, there’s no need to be shoulder-to-shoulder with a student—though I could reach everything I needed. Tom Jr. pointed out a couple of key differences in the F2 cockpit, as compared with other light single-engine piston airplanes. First, the throttle is a single lever—and it also serves as the brake. Up front, the powerplant remains the same—the fuel-injected Rotax 912 iS—but Airtime is testing new propeller combinations. The latest one, from Sensenich, has a sexy scimitar sweep to its tri-blade tips. The team had 10 hours of testing on the new propeller when we flew the airplane, and more testing is needed.

The F2 allows up to 50 kg (110 lb) of baggage (total) to be safely stored in the giant storage area aft of the cabin area. At either side are the throttles, which give you a pleasing little click at 0% and 100% to give you some haptic feedback that you’re at either extreme. In close cooperation with its dealers and owners, Flight Design continuously develops and improves its line of aircraft. Flight Design employs a team of 25 engineers to design and refine the CT series of aircraft.

The F2 is the newest aircraft from Flight Design general aviation. One we think will define light aircraft safety, performance and comfort in a CS-23 certified aircraft and as an S-LSA. The F2 brings a fresh look at high-wing light aircraft design with class leading safety features and an innovative Garmin avionic suite.

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne flightstick is considerably cheaper than the Thrustmaster and Logitech flight sim controllers that dominate the market, but matches them for features and even brings some new design ideas. It’s lacking that satisfying weight to keep itself planted, but otherwise, it’s a stellar mid-budget option. The CTSL was designed by Flight Design’s engineers to get the maximum inflight performance and the highest useful load.

Along with being compliant with the FAA NextGen requirements, the 2020 Edition includes our most popular options and comes fully loaded with easy-to-use avionics and safety systems. The Flight Design CTLSi is the newest version of the popular CT series optimized for the Light Sport Aircraft rules of the United States. Flight Design USA has delivering 56 of the CTLSi with the Rotax 912is since 2012 and the model is the most popular offered. Offered only in “fully loaded” configuration as the CTLSi GT 2020, the CTLSi contains everything a modern aircraft should. The 2-way adjustable seats and extra-wide cabin doors makes for easy entrance and a comfortable experience for you and your passenger. The ergonomic arrangement of the controls and instruments, plus the CTLS terrific visibility, makes long flights and learning to fly more relaxing and fun.
PLEASE FLY SAFELY
FLIGHT DESIGN sees the F2-CS23 as an excellent choice for Flight schools with its wide and easy-to-enter cockpit, fuel efficiency, unique safety features and state-of-the-art avionics suite. All new FLIGHT DESIGN aircraft come with carbon compensation up to TBO under FLIGHT DESIGN’s Pro-Climate plan. Flight Design USA is excited to announce the CTLSi GT 2020 Edition. The 2020 is the newest version of the popular Flight Design CTLSi featuring the 912Si fuel injected Rotax engine.

DARTS (Dynamics Algorithms for Real-Time Simulation)is a high-fidelity, flexible multibody dynamics simulator used forreal-time hardware-in-the-loop design, integration and testing ofspacecraft flight software. DARTS meets critical mission needsthroughout the spacecraft design, test and verification and operationsphases of missions. It allows the use of high-fidelity spacecraftdynamics models without sacrificing simulation speed enabling morereliable flight software design and testing, reduced development costsand reduced mission risks. DARTS is a multi-mission spacecraftsimulator used by several flight project for their various simulationneeds. Student teams design, fabricate and demonstrate the flight capabilities of an unmanned, electric powered, radio-controlled aircraft to meet the specified mission profile. The goal is to create a balanced design with good flight handling qualities, practical and affordable manufacturing requirements and high vehicle performance.
FLIGHT DESIGN CTLS VIDEO REVIEW
Exact specs for landing speeds are a work in progress at press time, but my senses tell me that feels about right. We were flying rather well, all things considered; I could maneuver the F2 around within this part of the envelope, practically begging it to fall off and drop its nose past the horizon. Instead, with a little push of the stick and throttle, we flew right out of the deep end of the slow flight regime as soon as the airplane was asked. By the end of 1941, the first Mustang was delivered to England for test flights. The design incorporated a low drag airframe and laminar flow wings.

The Rotax ran up to 5,300 rpm as we started the roll—it goes into the yellow arc at 5,500 rpm—and when we got to 50 knots indicated, I started to squeeze back on the stick, and we were soon airborne. We used less than a third of the runway, and I wasn’t even going for best short-field effort on this first takeoff run. We started up the Rotax, and I found the system worked surprisingly intuitively once I was taxiing along. Instead of tapping a brake on one side to tighten a turn, I used the steerable nosewheel.
The CTLS has been certified to international airworthiness standards in the United States, Europe, China and India. The aircraft was developed by Flight Design’s professional engineering staff with safety as the number one priority in their minds and includes a number of safety specific design features. The clean-sheet design that comprises the F2 comes from the rebirth of the company that created it. Flight Design evolved from a small business building ultralights and gliders into an airplane manufacturer in 1988, managed by its founder and visionary leader, Matthias Betsch. The Flight Design F2 reflects well the aerodynamic understanding and advanced avionics technology driven into the design.
That flashy OLED display lets you know when you’re in compatibility mode for either platform, and I had precisely zero turbulence when plugging it into either device. The OLED display can be programmed to show you a selection of useful readouts, and although I tended to forget to look at it while I was in-game, I was captivated by it when I first plugged the unit in and saw it light up. The USU Design/Build/Fly team, pictured above, took 22 out of 107 teams, one of their highest scores in recent years.
