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 Bushmaster is a high-wing, strut-braced monoplane of conventional design with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage. [1] [2] It has two seats, side-by-side, in an enclosed cabin. [1] [2] Fuselage construction is of welded steel tube, covered in fabric, and the wing is all metal. [1] [2] It is powered by a nose-mounted engine driving a tractor ...
A fixed-wing aircraft may have more than one wing plane, stacked one above another: Biplane: two wing planes of similar size, stacked one above the other. The biplane is inherently lighter and stronger than a monoplane and was the most common configuration until the 1930s. The very first Wright Flyer I was a biplane.
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 ...
The Henderson Longster is a conventional landing gear equipped, wire braced parasol wing aircraft. Aeronautical designer Ivan Diggs designed a new 30 ft wing for the Longster. [1] The wire bracing is supported by a central cabane post located over a 1 U.S. gallon (3.8 L; 0.83 imp gal) above-wing fuel tank. The fuselage is steel tubing.
The wings are longer than the ones on previous versions of that airplane—a design change that helps increase the craft’s overall fuel efficiency. NASA’s weird wing design could lead to ...

The model numbers used by Bellanca in this period reflected the wing area (in this case, 310 square feet) and engine horsepower (400 and up in this series), each divided by ten. Like their predecessors, these were high-wing braced monoplanes with conventional tailwheel undercarriage .
