Sling Aircraft

Sling Aircraft is located at Tedderfield Airpark in Johannesburg, South Africa. The factory itself is a sprawling Hangar Complex on the airfield that encompasses approximately 31,000 sq ft as well as two additional factories in Alrode, namely Basalt and Bentonite, while Sling HQ remains at Tedderfield.

The hangars house the assembly line for Sling 2, Sling TSi and Sling HW production. Factory offices are also located within the hangars so James and Andrew can keep a watchful eye on the process for quality assurance. The factory uses CNC presses and routers for all cutting and punching of the aluminum sheets. There are buildings for fabrication, sub-assembly assembly, final assembly, composites, and paint shop. There is a full time staff of 450 people and the complex includes all the amenities necessary for the production of high-quality Slings.
