. In aeronautics a flexible wing is an aircraft wing which is not rigid but can deform in flight. Early pioneer aeroplanes such as the Wright flyer used the flexible characteristics of lightweight construction to control flight through wing warping. Others made collapsible wings for folding away, such as the flying car designs by Gustave Whitehead. Since the 1960s flexible wings have dominated hang glider and ultralight aircraft designs, with such types as the delta-shaped Rogallo wing and the fully collapsible paraglider. More recently, the advent of high-strength flexible materials and other advanced technologies has renewed interest in the use of flexing for control purposes. ==Pioneer aircraft== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flexible wing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
