Sling Aircraft Sling 2 Family

The Sling 2 is a South African two-seat, low-wing light-aircraft family developed by The Airplane Factory, now Sling Aircraft. Its stressed-skin aluminum airframe and responsive handling support personal travel, touring, and flight training, while kit-built, ready-to-fly, light-sport, and tailwheel configurations serve different national and operating requirements. The production prototype demonstrated the design's long-range potential by flying around the world in 2009, and the family remains in production.
