About the T67B
The Slingsby T67B is a British fixed-wing aircraft designed as a two-seat trainer intended for aerobatic instruction. Built by Slingsby Aviation, it features a single engine and a layout suited for military and civilian flying programs. Various armed forces have utilized the type for basic flight screening and introductory instruction.
Originally created as a wooden design in France before production was transferred to England, the airframe was subsequently redesigned using composite materials and paired with larger powerplants. The military-oriented iterations introduced inverted systems and constant-speed propellers. While widely adopted internationally for training, the fleet faced operational scrutiny and eventual retirement by certain major military operators following a series of accidents.
