Flight Team UG & Company KG (usually just Flight Team) was a German aircraft manufacturer based in Ippesheim, in the district of Neustadt (Aisch)-Bad Windsheim in Bavaria. As an aircraft manufacturer the company specialized in the design and manufacture of ultralight trikes.
The company's two trike carriages, the Flight Team Spider and its competition development version, the Flight Team Twister, were built under contract by Pipistrel in Slovenia. These were equipped with a range of wings, mostly provided by Air Creation of France, for which Flight Team was once the German distibutor. The Spider was introduced in 1992, but both the Spider and Twister were out of production by 2013 and no longer listed on the company website.
The Spider and Twister carriages were noted for their TIG-welded steel construction with fibreglass mainwheel suspension.
The company continues in business as a distributor for Pipistrel aircraft and Galaxy Holdings sro ballistic parachutes.
