Discovery Aviation has re-started production of the British-designed XL-2 – formerly the Liberty XL-2 – with a three aircraft order from a current XL-2 operator in Seoul, Korea.

Florida-based Discovery says it plans to ramp up production of the updated XL-2 during 2018. New features include an avionics suite which includes a Garmin G500 glass cockpit, Mid Continent Standby Attitude Module, Garmin GDL 88, Bendix King KN-62A DME, Honeywell KR-87 ADF as well as the additional option of adding the STEC 30 autopilot.

Discovery is aiming the IFR-certified two-seat XL2 at the professional flight training market, and is also hinting at an autonomously flown drone version. It is also developing a twin-engine utility aircraft, the Discovery 201.
