Key Takeaways:

Flight Design's two-seat F2 single-engine piston airplane has received CS23 approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
This certification is a significant step, paving the way for future variants like the four-seat F4 and an all-electric F2e.
The F2-CS23 incorporates Flight Design's "Vision Zero" concept, integrating numerous passive and active safety systems to minimize occupant injury during incidents.
Already flying as a light sport aircraft in the U.S., the F2 features a Rotax 912iS engine and a Garmin G3X suite, with upgraded options available.

Flight Design announced on Friday the CS23 approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) of its two-seat F2 single-engine piston airplane, which is currently flying in the U.S. under the light sport category.

“We couldn’t be happier to see this important step for the F2 program, which ultimately will lead to the F4 four-seat version and the all-electric F2e,” said Matthias Betsch, head of the Flight Design design organization and creator of the F Series and many of its advanced concepts.
