SLING 4 TSi HIGH WING

The SLING 4 TSi HIGH WING is a South African four-seat, single-engine aircraft sold in kit form by SLING Aircraft. It is characterized by its high-wing cantilever design and is offered with either fixed tricycle or conventional landing gear. The aircraft shares substantial parts commonality with the Sling TSi, but features major differences in the center section to support the high-wing structure. Its prototype first flew in December 2020.

SLING Aircraft, based in Johannesburg South, developed the Sling HW between 2019 and 2020. The company specializes in producing light aircraft kits.

Maintenance access for this aircraft requires specialized height access solutions. Platforms and stands support detailed inspection and servicing across critical areas. These solutions, including Reach Deck Platforms, Modular Stepover Platforms, Super Trestle Scaffold, and Super Service Stands, provide access to the Nose Section (radome, antenna, avionics, cockpit) and the Forward Fuselage (doors, cargo, and lighting systems). They are also indispensable for servicing the Landing Gear (NLG and MLG), the Middle Fuselage/Wing Box Area, the Wing & Engine Pylon sections, the AFT Fuselage, and the Tail Section.
