First Flight Of The
TL-3000 Sirius
In May and June of 2008,
TL-Ultralight s.r.o. completed the first series of test
flights of the high-wing TL-3000 Sirius in the Czech
Republic.
The Sirius, like the low-wing TL-2000 Sting, is a two
passenger, carbon fiber fixed-wing airplane powered by the
100 hp Rotax 912ULS engine.
It will be manufactured in versions for distribution in
Europe and in the United States as a special light sport
aircraft (SLSA). SportairUSA, LC, will distribute the
airplane in North America. |

Piloted by Jiri Tlusty,
president of the company, the first Sirius demonstrated
lively acceleration and responsive slow flight
characteristics in its initial flights. The airplane lifts
off and very quickly achieves a rapid rate of climb. Tlusty
said. Our design and development team has produced a
high-wing sport airplane that will be a worthy complement to
the Sting. The
project began in 2006 and was introduced in 2007 as a
proof-of-concept model at air shows in Friedrichshafen,
Germany, and at AirVenture in the USA. A production
prototype is targeted for completion in July and tooling is
underway for the first European production runs later this
year. The SLSA version will be ready for the U.S. market in
the first half of 2009.
Bill Canino, the President
of SportairUSA, which also distributes the Sting S3, was in
the Czech Republic for the initial flights and brought back
photographs showing the clean lines and quality layup of the
Sirius. With the Sirius, TL-Ultralight once again
demonstrates its deep experience and mastery of the design
and construction benefits of carbon composite airframes,
Canino said.
The Sirius is designed for
a maximum gross weight of 1,320 pounds in its SLSA version
(1,430 pounds on floats), with a useful load of 600 pounds,
and extended range with 30+ gallons of fuel. The cabin is 46
inches wide at the shoulders. Standard equipment on the
tricycle-geared airplane includes steerable nose gear,
toe-actuated disc brakes, adjustable rudder pedals and a
whole-plane GRS ballistic recovery parachute. Other features
include easy entry/exit and generous cabin size with plenty
of legroom.
The Sirius will be equipped
for night flight and will comply with ASTM standards for IFR
flight when those standards are issued. The instrument panel
accommodates either a traditional six-pack arrangement of
flight instruments or any of a variety of primary and
multipurpose flight displays from Dynon, Grand Rapids
Technologies and TruTrak along with a full complement of
avionics.
TL-Ultralight is an
experienced manufacturer of high-tech, composite aircraft,
beginning with powered parachutes and trikes in 1990 and
moving on to the fiberglass TL-96 Star in 1996. The Star
evolved into the Sting Carbon, the StingSport and the
recently introduced Sting S3, which are produced in several
versions for worldwide markets. The company is known for
building airplanes that display agile handling, exceptional
visibility, balanced controls and a high quality of fit and
finish.
