Sling Aircraft North America has teamed up with Tango Flight to deliver Sling 2 aircraft kits to high schools throughout the United States. This initiative aims to enhance hands-on aviation education and inspire future aerospace professionals. Students will engage in building the Sling 2 aircraft as part of a structured STEM curriculum, gaining practical experience in engineering, manufacturing, teamwork, and leadership.
Dan Weyant of Tango Flight highlighted the transformative potential of the programme, stating, “Partnering with Sling Aircraft North America allows us to deliver a proven modern aircraft platform to schools nationwide, giving students the opportunity to build something extraordinary and see what they’re capable of achieving.” The Sling 2, known for its performance and durability, will provide students with industry-relevant materials and standards, opening pathways to potential careers in aviation and aerospace.
Matt Liknaitzky, Co-CEO of Sling Aircraft North America, expressed pride in supporting Tango Flight's mission, saying, “Together we are helping schools create transformational learning experiences that open doors to college, careers, and lifelong opportunity.” Students completing a Sling 2 aircraft at a partner high school will also be eligible for a free discovery flight at any Sling Pilot Academy location.
The partnership is set to roll out in select schools during the 2026 academic year, with plans for national expansion in phases. This collaboration promises to offer students a unique educational experience, blending practical skills with academic learning, and potentially shaping the future of aviation education
