About Us

Where Adventure meets Innovation

Founded by fearless aviator and adventurer Mike Blyth, Sling Aircraft is the culmination of a relentless pursuit to create the ultimate light sport aircraft. What began as Mike’s vision to design and build the perfect LSA evolved into a thrilling journey, with each test flight uncovering new ways to refine and elevate the design.

Enter James Pitman – a corporate lawyer, adrenaline junkie, and lifelong adventurer. The partnership between Mike and James brought together two bold spirits with a shared passion for adventure and precision. With fresh energy and resources, they dismantled the prototype and rebuilt it, fine-tuning every aspect to create an aircraft with military-grade handling and performance.
