The star among the simple two-seaters

Share your adventure moments with the world’s first light tandem with LTF-A approval. The ASTERION Light Tourismo brings U-Turn’s concentrated A-Class expertise to the two-seater class for the first time, while still maintaining a high speed. Sporty handling meets extremely good-natured flight behavior packed into minimal dimensions. A mixture that offers countless areas of application for the lightweight two-seater. From the perfect family wing to an unconditional companion on demanding alpine adventures and trips for two. The concept of simplification comes into play right from the start. The lightweight two-seater can be launched from almost any position and promises carefree moments of fun in the air.
Uncompromising passive safety ensures a high level of comfort on extended two-person flights. The ASTERION LT climbs extremely gently but continuously and implements control impulses directly. The precise handling enables tight radii when turning and centering in thermals. But the concept also promises a high fun factor when playing in laminar upwind. The control pressures remain very low and are more reminiscent of solo handling. A wing that fulfills the perfect requirements of a family wing. The weight range is also designed for maximum passenger flexibility. The ASTERION LT is aimed at all pilots who want to take off on two-seater adventures without ballast. The flexible two-seater offers countless application possibilities with high performance potential and plenty of safety reserves. Optimized power-to-weight ratio with a high level of comfort for passenger and pilot.

Innovations

Asterion LT: Innovation in a double pack

Chief designer Ernst Strobl relies on the efficient basic concept of the Eternity for the ASTERION LT, which gives the wing its good-natured characteristics. 3D shaping and optimized wing pretensioning ensure perfect airflow around the wing, while the Precision Profile Nose System (PPN) ensures optimum airflow to the profile. Miniribs and the Brake Gathering System (BGS) help the profile to retain its shape at the trailing edge and thus transfer control impulses precisely to the wing. A very clear line concept with few main lines provides a good overview and orientation of the line levels during take-off. The risers are equipped with an efficient trimmer which accelerates the maneuverable wing to 13 km/h.

Material

Asterion LT: Low cap weight with a long service life

Lightweight construction becomes intelligent when the right material is used in the right places. The selective use of material thicknesses of the top materials Dokdo 30 and 20, as well as Skytex 27, ensure an optimum power-to-weight ratio with a very long service life and dimensional stability. This enables maximum durability with optimum weight management. The low weight of the wing itself stores less energy and therefore favors a good-natured reaction behavior. All materials, without exception, have been tested under the tough criteria of long-term durability.
