The Sportsman is the most versatile 4-seat single piston aircraft available. The Sportsman’s performance specifications compare favorably with other aircraft in the class that are priced several times higher.

The Sportsman is the ultimate adventure aircraft. It was designed for the pilot who rejects compromise, whose flying missions are diverse and demanding, and whose airplane had better be ready to go anywhere, anytime.

The Glasair Sportsman is a versatile, high-performance, single-engine aircraft designed for recreational and utility purposes. Manufactured by Glasair Aviation, the Sportsman is available as a kit-built aircraft, giving builders flexibility in configuration and features.

Based upon all of the flying we’ve done to date in the prototype Sportsman as a tail-dragger and a trike, we are confident that the speeds of a comparably equipped Sportsman and GlaStar will be within a few knots of one another.

The Sportsman aircraft with the IO-390 clearly walks away from the smaller engines on either aircraft by reportedly close to 10 knots. Slow speed and stall: These speeds are also nearly identical. The Sportsman, however, gets a definite edge due to the fact that it has bigger flaps that keep the speed down better during steep descents.
