Tango Flight<\/a> has announced a new partnership with Sling Aircraft North America to provide Sling 2 kit aircraft to high schools across the United States, expanding hands-on aviation education opportunities for students and advancing Tango Flight’s mission to inspire the next generation of aerospace professionals. Through this collaboration, participating schools will build the Sling 2 aircraft as part of a structured, project-based STEM curriculum. Students will gain real-world experience in engineering, manufacturing, teamwork, and leadership while working alongside educators, industry mentors, and community partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tango Flight was founded to change lives through aviation education,” said Dan Weyant of Tango Flight. “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 \u2014 and see what they’re capable of achieving.” The Sling 2 is an all-metal, low-wing aircraft widely recognized for its performance, durability, and build quality. By integrating this aircraft into high school programs, the partnership ensures students work with industry-relevant materials and standards while gaining exposure to potential aviation and aerospace career pathways. “We are proud to support Tango Flight’s mission of uplifting young people through hands-on aviation education,” said Matt Liknaitzky, Co-CEO of Sling Aircraft North America. “Together, we are helping schools create transformational learning experiences that open doors to college, careers, and lifelong opportunity.” Students who participate in completing a Sling 2 aircraft at a Tango Flight partner high school are also eligible for a free discovery flight at any Sling Pilot Academy<\/a> location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership will begin rolling out to select schools in the 2026 academic year, with plans to expand nationally in phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
