Date:01/05/2009 Manufacturer:P AND M AVIATION LTD Type:FLIGHT DESIGN CTSW Serial No.:8189 Aircraft Class:MICROLIGHT Flight Design (Flight Design GmbH) is a German aircraft manufacturer based in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. The company started building hang gliders and ultralight aircraft in the 1980s and added paragliders in 2001. The CT series first flew in March 1996 and was put into production in 1997. The company currently manufactures the aircraft line, which can be flown under microlight/ultralight regulations in several countries and under the Light-sport aircraft (LSA) rules in the US. Engineering design work is still performed in Germany, but much production and all assembly of the aircraft has been moved to Ukraine to lower production costs. In February 2011 the company announced that it is developing a four-seat design to be designated C4. At AirVenture 2013 the company announced that it intends to open a final assembly plant in Windham, Connecticut, United States and a plant in China in conjunction with a Taiwanese company, Aero Jones. CTSW is a Composite two seat, high wing microlight/sport aircraft. P&M Aviation is a British aircraft manufacturer, specializing in ultralight trikes. The company was formed in 2003 by Keith Duckworth's purchase of two rival British trike manufacturers, Pegasus Aviation and Mainair Sports, hence the name of the new company. P&M has retained both the former Mainair factory at Rochdale and the Pegasus plant at Marlborough, Wiltshire, the former carrying out production and the latter research and development
