The FanWing is a type of aircraft rotor wing in which a horizontal-axis cross-flow fan is used in close conjunction with a fixed wing. The fan forces airflow over the fixed surface to provide both lift and forward thrust. The concept was initially developed around 1997 by designer Patrick Peebles and is under development by his company FanWing ...
A number of Wings's hits are composed by singer-songwriter M. Nasir. Awie left the band in 1993 after reported disagreements with Ali Bakar (Wings manager), and pursued a career as a solo artist and actor. He re-joined Wings in 2002 after lukewarm fan response to his replacements Mus (formerly from May) and Mel (a club singer).
Three-cylinder fans were known as W or W-3 engines. The appeal of the fan configuration was that, because all the cylinder were above the horizontal there was little danger of the plugs being fouled by the lubricating oil. The disadvantage, particularly for an aircraft engine, was the extra weight required to counterbalance the pistons.

It is a fixed-wing airplane capable of VTOL - a “crossover” airplane. It will be powered by two turboshaft engines operating three ducted fans: two pivoting on a cross-shaft forward of the wings and one in the aft fuselage, lifting the aircraft in VTOL mode. The pivoting forward fans allow the TriFan to operate conventionally from a runway ...
