Forward Swept Wing

Been wanting to start this discussion for a while now. Would love to put a Wing on the back for a while now. Just nothing really interests me so far. I don't like the car type wings on the back just doesn't suit the sling imo. Don't mind the underground auto one but it's not really a wing. I think a forward swept wing would look badass. Something like a fighter jet. The back spine of the slingshot is very similar in shape to a jet. Maybe with some lights and an adjustable flap on the trailing edge. Lots of military and retired military, pilots and heck one of us even works for Lockheed Martin. So I think a wing like that may go over well. I'm not able to manufacture something like that I know someone who may be able to. And he's a fellow Canuck.....on the forum even. Heck if we show enough interest maybe he will make it for us. Forum designed wing go team.
I'll attach a few pics so you can get an idea what I'm talking about. Me I just come up with ideas it's part of my creative side I see them in my mind finished. I've been waiting patiently for something but figured maybe I could get some interest going to see if others are like minded.
Better tag kev so he can follow along @kev

Teaser image

Kinda only up off the body at the front and fuller in the center. Like that tho.

I love the idea @Slingshot Garage. Heck, @kev just chop the back of the white one off, put it in a downscale machine. And find some mounting points. Or just replace the rear deck with a rear deck incorporating all that jet plane goodness.

I was thinking centrally mounted where the tail fin lights are. And then incorporate the lights into the wing use the factory plug for power. @kev
Not that he's not busy enough figuring out the front end right now lol. Add a bit of fuel to the fire.

@Slingshot Garage

I would be interested in the engine in those pics...

Ya man no kidding. Would be great watching tailgaters melt lol. Well and taking off from stop lights would be interesting

Here's a quick sketch of what I was thinking. There's a bunch of ways it could go.

Maybe others will chime in.

I like it! Can't make it... Probably won't afford it... But I like it!

Hey if kev makes it it will be made in canada priced in canadian dollars. So it's a win for you if he does. Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks it's a good idea. Or this thread will die a slow painful death. And a piece of me will go with it lol

Love the red one you posted.

But when it comes to design, I can't "see" the image and placement.

I'll happily comment on finished product, lol

Random though, (mostly because I don't know what the plastic costs), but what about doing a lifesize cutout, and placing it on the Sling. Box it up to proper height and take a pic from above

Well if no one makes one I might just try my hand at fiberglass next winter. I have cut out several boat frames. Because I like that kinda stuff. A wing isn't too different to that may just go it alone if we can't generate enough interest to entice kev.

Wings need to stay under the Hoop height imo. I do like the edgy look which matches the sling. Something we don't have right now.

I agree totally
