“And now for something completely different.” It was a line from that brilliant 1970s British television comedy show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, but it could just as easily be used to introduce The Airplane Factory’s new, fits-into-its-own-niche airplane, the cheeky Sling 4.
The Sling 4 Is Joy in a Kit
Key Takeaways:
- The Sling 4 is a unique four-place experimental aircraft designed for exceptional fuel efficiency (under 6 gph on mogas) and a high useful load, capable of carrying four adults and baggage for extended durations.
- It offers a spacious, comfortable cabin with "Zen-like" handling, derived from its Sling 2 predecessor, and is powered by a turbocharged Rotax engine for efficient cruise speeds around 125 knots.
- Marketed as an affordable alternative to certified planes, the Sling 4 is primarily sold as a kit with comprehensive build support, filling a niche for an economical, capable, and enjoyable personal or club aircraft.
