A model of the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing aircraft in a wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center. By early 2019, following extensive wind tunnel testing at NASA Ames Research Center, an optimized truss and more sweep for the 170 ft (52 m) span wing allowed flying higher and faster, up from Mach 0.70–0.75 to Mach 0.80 like current jetliners.

The crew of three (two pilots and a navigator) were accommodated in an enclosed cockpit ahead of the wing, while the aircraft's cabin had seats for up to 20 passengers. The wing structure comprised steel spars with duralumin ribs and covering, and was braced using steel struts. The aircraft's tail assembly was also composed

Eight aircraft were ordered by the IGN, based at Creil airfield to the north of Paris. The aircraft's wing design made it ideal for long-duration, low-speed flight, ideal for aerial photography and survey work. These machines were designated HD.34 and were fitted with an extensively glazed nose and an offset retractable nosewheel. They flew ...
By 1929 it had been converted by Jesse C. Johnson into an unusual rotary wing type with a 18 ft (5.5 m) driven rotor under each wing. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] After a string of all-metal prototypes, McDonnell's 1928 H-45 and H-47 used a thinner, externally braced wing, more powerful engines, had two more seats in a side-windowed cabin and were much ...
