About the Sportsman 2+2

The Glasair Sportsman 2+2 is a homebuilt fixed-wing aircraft featuring a single engine, high wing, strut-braced layout with four seats. Manufactured by Glasair Aviation, it suits amateur builders looking for a versatile kit aircraft that can be fitted with either tricycle or conventional landing gear, as well as floats, amphibious floats, or tundra tires.

The aircraft was developed from the company's smaller Glastar model. Factory-assisted assembly is available through a specific program designed to comply with construction regulations for amateur-built aircraft. The airframe is constructed with a fiberglass or optional carbon fiber fuselage combined with metal wings and horizontal stabilizers. Power is provided by a Lycoming engine, with diesel engine options also available. Production recently transitioned from the United States to a new facility in China.
