“This is what “vertical Integration” gets you in a world of supply chain issues. Sling Aircraft produces almost everything for their line of aircraft in-house. From building their own spars, to welding up motor mounts—all the way to doing their own upholstery and paint—they try hard to be their own supplier.
Their metal-cutting and -punching facilities produce their own sheet metal parts from a huge supply of raw stock on hand, and their composites shop takes the designs from their in-house engineering staff, produces prototype plugs, molds and then all the finished parts. I think that if they could run a cattle ranch to produce their own leather, they’d look into it! (Might provide great meals for their staff of nearly 350 workers as a bonus).”

Team Sling will be camping out from next Friday to Sunday, 6th to 8th March, for a full weekend of flying, demos, good company, and proper aviation vibes. We’re bringing the Sling TSi and Sling High Wing along for demo flights on Friday, 6th March — so if you’re serious about owning your own Sling, this is your chance to experience the difference firsthand. From STOL competitions and spot landings to skydivers, hot air balloons, Harvards, workshops and yes… the Sling pool is coming too, so pack those cozzies😉 — it’s going to be aviation heaven.
