The F2-CS23 is the next step in Flight Design’s “Vision Zero” concept, according to company officials. That concept incorporates all commercially available safety features for this type of aircraft, including: A passive stall and spin resistant airframe design, airframe emergency parachute system, AMSAFE airbags and inertial reel harnesses, Garmin ESP (electronic stability and envelope protection), an occupant-protective enclosure for the pilot and passengers, automatic fuel management, simplified controls, such as a combined throttle and brake lever, and a more modern, car-like atmosphere and operation, they explain.
