A folding wing is a wing configuration design feature of aircraft to save space and is typical of carrier-based aircraft that operate from the limited deck space of aircraft carriers. The folding allows the aircraft to occupy less space in a confined hangar because the folded wing normally rises over the fuselage decreasing the floor area of ...
The SA-5 is a mid-wing, tricycle landing gear design with folding wings. The aircraft was intended to be towed by a vehicle by the (lowered) tail on its main gear with wings folded along its sides. The cockpit can be open, or covered with a bubble canopy. The fuselage is constructed from welded steel tubing with aircraft fabric covering.
SA-11A with folded wings. The SA-11A is a single engine, side-by-side configuration seating, tricycle gear, strut-braced, low wing monoplane. The fuselage is welded steel tubing with aircraft fabric covering. [2] The wings have a quick release mechanism that allows them to fold and lock alongside the fuselage in 15–30 seconds.
A carrier-based aircraft (also known as carrier-capable aircraft, carrier-borne aircraft, or carrier aircraft) is a naval aircraft designed for operations from aircraft carriers. Carrier-based aircraft must be able to launch in a short distance and be sturdy enough to withstand the abrupt forces of launching from and recovering on a pitching deck.
The fuselage is wood construction with fabric covering with a folding wing. [3] The pilot and single passenger sit side-by-side in a fully enclosed cabin. One example has been built as a floatplane with fiberglass covered wooden floats using Falconar plans. [4] [5] The airfoil employed is a NACA 23012. [6]
The aircraft is made from metal tubing, with its flying surfaces and fuselage covered doped aircraft fabric. Its 30.00 ft (9.1 m) span wing features Junkers flaperons, has a wing area of 124.5 sq ft (11.57 m 2) and is supported by "V" struts with jury struts. The plans specify standard hydraulic brakes, a steerable tailwheel and wings that fold ...
Short Folder is a generic name often applied to several different Short Brothers' aircraft types designed and built prior to and during World War I.Short Brothers developed and patented [1] folding wing mechanisms for ship-borne aircraft from 1913; the wings were hinged so that they folded back horizontally alongside the fuselage (as shown in the image), reducing the storage space required for ...
The F11 features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit that is 40 in (102 cm) wide, fixed conventional landing gear, or optionally tricycle landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric.
