LTD LO-120S
# LTD LO-120S

The LTD LO-120 is a German ultralight aircraft, produced by Logistik-Technik, of Baindt and based on the earlier LO 120 S produced by LO-Fluggerrätebau. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

## Design and development

The LO-120 was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a small windshield, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 15.5 m (50.9 ft) span soaring wing has an area of 16 $m^2$ (170 sq ft) and can be quickly swapped for an alternate, reduced span microlight touring wing that increases cruising speed. The tail is an inverted V-tail mounted to twin booms. The standard engine is the 40 hp (30 kW) Rotax 447 two-stroke powerplant.

Cockpit access is via a sliding fairing.
