In 1993, the TL 132 Condor was introduced, a two-place ultralight airplane with seats side-by-side, a further development of the TL-32. The cruise speed of the TL132 is 123-130km/h with a consumption of 11 litres fuel per hour. Many flying schools used the TL132 Condor. This ultralight airplane has certification in Germany, France, Holland, Spain.
Over 280 have sold.

In 1991 the TL Ultralight company started with production of TL 32 Typhoon. 300 were produced between 1991 and 2008.
This type was followed by TL 132 condor.

The contemporary engraving shows the Tissandier electric dirigible scale model – similar in appearance to the Giffard airship of 1852 – at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers in Paris. Seen at the Exposition d’électricité in 1881, the aérostat électrique was a demonstrative model of the later constructed full-scale Siemens electromotor-driven Tissandier airship. The model’s all important electromotor was designed and built by French inventor Gustave Trouvé.
In 1882 the Tissander brothers built a 92 ft long airship. At 37,000 cu.ft capacity, it was powered by a Siemens electric motor of 1.5 hp driving a primitive two-bladed airscrew, which drew its power from twenty-four bichromate of potash cells weighing 500 lb, contained in the car suspended by netting below the fuselage.
The first trial took place on 8 October 1883 when, despite a fair breeze, a measure of control was achieved with the aid of the sail rudder. A second trial on 26 September produced better results although due to the low power of the engine the craft was unable to make any headway in a wind of any magnitude and the brothers ended their works.
Single seat single engined high wing monoplane with conventional three axis control. Wing has unswept leading and trailing edges, and constant chord; flaps fitted. Conventional tail. Pitch control by elevator on tail; yaw control by fin mounted rudder; roll control by 39% span ailerons; control inputs through stick for pitch/roll and pedals for yaw. Wing braced from below by struts; wing profile Wortmann FS67 170 17; 100% double surface. Undercarriage has three wheels in tricycle formation; no suspension on nosewheel and glass fibre suspension on main wheels. Push right go right nosewheel steering connected to yaw control. No brakes. Aluminium tube framework, with pod. Engine mounted below wing, driving pusher propeller. Flying surfaces use foam/glassfibre/epoxy composite construction, not press moulded, with covering of rip stop reinforced Mylar.
In concept the Tirith Firebird is more of a mini aeroplane than a microlight. Designed by J Webb and Prof D Howe, both of Cranfield College of Aeronautics. Controls and flying surfaces are all thoroughly conventional and aircraft release materials have been used in all critical areas. There are no control cables, push rods being used instead. Moreover, the Firebird is fitted with 60% span flaps.
In 1982 the aircraft was still being tested and still at prototype stage.
This single seat microlight is a three axes design powered by two Weslake WAE342 engines. Firebird has a rigid composite structure, but Tirith Microplane is at pains to point out that only approved materials are used for critical areas. The Firebird was designed for Tirith Microplane by Cranfield’s Prof Hower and J. H. Webb.
Initial trials following the first flight in October 1982 found the single engine under some strain. This led to the prototype being cannibalised to provide the foundation for a twin engined machine. The powerplants are mounted side by side behind the pilot, and slightly forward of the trailing edge of the high wing. Shrouds surround the 30in diameter propellers, which are driven directly by Weslake twin cylinder two-stroke engines giving 45 hp. Flight testing was in the hands of Angus McVitie.
