This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Operational history

There are, according to JAWA 2010/11, about 400 of these aircraft out there but neither Jane's nor the web say much about geographical distribution or roles. Anyone know more?

Company name

Other ways of spelling Lilienthal appear, like Liliental and Liliental'; Lilienthal is what the company website uses and is the German spelling of the pioneer aviator after whom the company is named. The other spellings seem to be the result of transliterating Lilienthal into Cyrillic and back into Roman.

Other variants

Jane's mentions a Lilienthal-100. There seem to have been two of these, neither well described nor appearing on the company site.

Jane's also mentions the Sintal aircraft, very similar though not identical. There is a dispute over copyright here, so I avoided it. Something about the Sintal can be found at ru:С-2 «Синтал».TSRL (talk) 23:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Accidents

On June 6 2016, Russian news medi reported the crash of a Lilienthal Bekas in Russia’s southern Rostov region. A source in the regional law enforcement agencies told TASS that the pilot who was aboard the plane had died.^[1]
