Australian LightWings goal is to provide sports aviation aircraft that conform to the worlds highest standards in style, performance and safety whilst maintaining customer relations that exceed our existing and future customers expectations.

Style: the Low wing 2 and 4 place SP-2000 and SP-4000 represent the ultimate in stylish, comfortable and ergonomically superior aircraft. These features add up to an aircraft that will retain its resale value, be a pleasure to operate over its lifetime and provide years of safe reliable operation.

Performance: With over 150 aircraft flying throughout Australia and the South Pacific, the LightWing airframe in general and the new SPEED airframe in particular, have earned a reputation for delivering industry standard performance, stall 45 kts for low landing speed, cruise at 100 kts plus, means a useful aircraft that can pay its way in either a commercial or private area of operation.

Safety: In 21 years of manufacturing and with a fleet of close to 200 aircraft, no other manufacturer in the world can match our impeccable safety record.

We attribute our aircrafts  safety to a number of factors including superior aerodynamic design,  the design of our pilot protection space frame, backup and redundant systems for fuel, electrical and other mission critical attributes and  our level of safety is further enhanced by an on-going manufacturing and customer communication  system aimed at minimizing the  possibility of safety issues  becoming critical in the future. 

Through a comprehensive and on-going education initiative, Hughes Engineering has played its part in passing on the knowledge and skills of aircraft design, manufacture and operation to those interested students in our region, interstate and overseas.

Ballina High School (NSW) Kent st WA and Moruya High School (NSW) have aviation studies as part of their education curriculum. We also frequently take on foreign exchange students from Europe, the Netherlands and abroad.
