The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
Over 200 3rd year Aeronautical, Mechanical and Industrial Students from the University of the Witwatersrand recently visited The Airplane Factory on a factory tour.
Said Jarryd Wilson, of the Airplane Factory’s Research and Development department who hosted the visit, “The students from the three disciplines were treated to a tour of the factory’s final assembly facility, sub-assembly, and Research and Development departments. Numerous questions were asked, and tremendous interest was shown in the Airplane Factory products and manufacturing techniques.”
‘’We encourage students I all disciplines with an interest in aviation to a tour facility to develop their interest still further and to provide them with the techniques and research and development capabilities we have to design aircraft in South Africa”.
