The TL Ultralight TL-96 Star is a low-wing carbon composite two-seat
ultralight aeroplane. 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 is a
further development of the TL-132 Condor. In 1996, TL Ultralight
designed a complete new type: the TL-96 Star. The development took 2
years and for TL it meant the transition to complete new materials and
technology. The TL-96 Star is a high performance glasscomposite aircraft
with an empty weight of 265 kg. The cruise speed of the TL-96 is 200
km/hr.
TL Ultralight TL-96 Star OK-FUU-51 was photographed at the MLA airfield Stadskanaal in Vledderveen, The
Netherlands. In 2001, the aircraft was based at the Ultraleicht Flugplatz Dankern near Haren (Ems) in Germany.
