About the T67M-260
The Slingsby T67M-260 is a fixed-wing aircraft produced in England as a two-seat trainer capable of performing aerobatic maneuvers. Driven by a single engine, it provides an agile platform suitable for military screening programs and civilian flight academies.
The aircraft evolved from an earlier wooden design created in France. After acquiring the rights, the manufacturer transitioned the airframe to composite construction and incorporated larger engines, constant-speed propellers, and specialized oil systems for inverted flight. While major military forces utilized fleets of these aircraft for basic training over many years, some operations were later curtailed following safety reviews and operational incidents.
