The Flight Design CT is a German composite light-sport aircraft that became a familiar sight in European ultralight and US light-sport flying. Its high wing, efficient Rotax engine, and roomy cabin give it useful touring ability at low fuel burn. The CT family helped establish composite construction in mainstream recreational aviation.
