Certification

The XL2 is certified in the United States under FAR Part 23 as an IFR Certified aircraft.

Our US certification was completed through the FAA's Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office (A.C.O.). Atlanta is our Aircraft Certification Office (A.C.O.).

The XL2 has also acheived equivalent certification in Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand & EASA Countries (including) Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstien, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, & the United Kingdom.

Additional certification for other countries will follow.

Design

We acheived our design goal to provide a 2 seat aircraft that is safe, reliable and economical with comfort and performance characteristics of much higher priced aircraft. To achieve the aircraft design goals in terms of weight, performance, cost of materials and production time, Liberty has incorporated not only the best materials for the particular task but also the latest processing and manufacturing technology.

Carbon Fiber Fuselage

The XL2 is constructed using the same Toray composites used for the Boeing 787, providing both light weight and exceptional durability and performance. Our fuselage weighs only 70 pounds, but is stronger than a comparable aluminum fuselage, contributing to the exceptional performance and fuel efficiency of the XL2.

Modular Design

The XL2 has three major components - the fuselage, a rolling chasis, and the wings, that come together to efficiently manufacture a high technology aircraft. The wings of the aircraft are removable in about 10 minutes by a licensed mechanic, enabling multiple aircraft to be stored in a small hangar footprint for flight schools in the event of severe weather.

International Customers also benefit from an aircraft that can easily be disassembled for overseas shipment. The Liberty XL2 can easily ship in a 20' container or for fleet order customers, our team can secure 2 aircraft in a 40' container - significantly decreasing sea and air freight costs.

Ease of Maintenance

The XL2 was designed with maintenance in mind. The belly panel can easily be removed to expose all of the major aircraft systems. Mechanics routinely perform 100 hour inspections on Liberty XL2's in about 10 hours, versus 25 hours for competing aircraft - generating a significant savings in maintenance costs. Additionally, less time in the shop provides our customers with an increase in dispatch reliability - an element crucial for flight school evaluations.

Fuel Efficient

The Teledyne Continental IO-240F engine equipped with a FADEC provides optimized fuel economy, and the XL-2 burns only 5.0 gallons per hour, the most efficient aircraft in its class.

Environmentally Sound

Not only does the Liberty XL2 have the lowest carbon footprint of any IFR certified aircraft, the low energy fabrication process for the carbon fiber fuselage reduces energy usage, volatile organic compounds and CO2 in manufacturing. The Liberty XL2 is the "Greenest" aircraft available today.
