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
Forward Swept Wing

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.

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

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

@mniron which wing is that and did you have that the day we went for a ride ?
I don't recall seeing it.
-
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!
-
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

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
-
Sorry but all of you are late to this party I did this many years ago.
-
I like...Think IMHO it would look best a little higher anchoring to hoops like 1/2 way follow rear line of sling, but little tighter ( does that make sense) ???

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
