Mike Blyth and James Pitman, co-owners of South Africa-based The Airplane Factory, on Aug. 27 completed an around-the-world trip in the Sling, a sport aircraft they built that makes significant use of composites. Their 40-day trip took the duo through 13 countries and covered a distance of 45,150 km/28,055 miles.
Come and Join Peter van Ket at the East London Surf Lifesaving Club as he launches his boat, the Nyamezela.
Peter is about to attempt a 5500km unassisted solo journey across the Atlantic and Aerontec are proud to be associated with Peter as the supplier of the composite materials they used to build this boat.
