EAA AIRVENTURE
We’re heading to Oshkosh and we’d love to see you there. Stop by the ROTAX booth (265) at AirVenture and get up close with the SW-51 MUSTANG, built entirely from carbon fiber, nose to tail. This year’s aircraft features the new larger prop. Check out the recently released Italian leather interior from Carlex, complete with Platinum Cockpit in Plum 51. Whether you’ve been following the SW-51 for years or you’re just discovering it, come say hello, ask questions, and see the 100,000+ surface details in person. We’ll be there all week and we’re always happy to talk flying.


THE MUSTANG
The P-51 Mustang turned pilots into legends with its design and air superiority. Eight decades later, ScaleWings has refined the Mustang for the 21st century with one objective in mind – putting you in the cockpit of the world’s most iconic fighter. Meet the SW-51 – nothing flies like a fighter.
THE LEGEND REBORN
HEART-POUNDING PERFORMANCE
The turbocharged engine delivers a power-to-weight ratio that honors the original. Firewall the throttle, and you’re off the deck at 950 feet. The aggressive climb rate gets you to altitude quickly, where you can explore positive-G aerobatics, cruise at 180 knots, and loiter for more than 5-hours burning just 7.5 gallons per hour.

“This flies like an F-16”
TOP GUN REVIEW
POWERFUL
RELIABLE
UNSTOPPABLE

With fully automated digital engine controls (FADEC), the liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, turbocharged powerplant delivers peak performance from sea-level to FL180 at optimal fuel efficiency without the guesswork of managing fuel flow. You’ll have power when you demand it and 7.5 gallons per hour economy when you want it. And with a global service network, you’re always in range of support.
MODERN ENGINEERING
TIMELESS BEAUTY
Computer-aided design for improved handling, glass cockpit for maximum situational awareness, and carbon fiber construction put the power, strength, and agility of the legendary Mustang at your fingertips in a way that could never have been imagined in the 1940s – but the timeless silhouette says pure Mustang.


SAFETY
BY DESIGN

The SW-51 incorporates safety systems that the original never had. Fly with confidence knowing your Mustang has an all-electric landing gear with mechanical fail-safe, modern avionics, and a digital engine management system. A taxi camera improves your ground visibility and confirms gear extension, and there’s also an airframe parachute system for the ultimate peace-of-mind.

100% CARBON FIBER
FINER POINTS

ScaleWings has painstakingly captured the essence of the P-51 by recreating every rivet, every panel line, and every screw head molded into the high-tech carbon fiber airframe. The signature sound of the radiator scoop and gunport flashes announces the SW-51 arrival. This attention to detail, the sight, and sound of the SW-51, puts the world’s most authentic tribute to the world’s most iconic aircraft within your grasp.
