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 ...
The Aristocrat is a high, braced wing monoplane with a two-part wing of rectangular plan apart from clipped tips, mounted to the fuselage without dihedral. The wing structure is entirely wooden and built around spruce box-spars and girder ribs. Apart from the leading edge, which is reinforced with aluminium sheet, the surfaces are fabric ...

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.
In January 1937, Aeronca unveiled the Model K, a replacement for the company's popular C-3.While it was powered by the same Aeronca E-113 two-cylinder engine as the C-3, the Model K Scout was of more conventional appearance, eliminating the C-3's distinctive fuselage "bathtub", replacing the wire-braced wings used by the earlier aircraft with strut-braced wings and providing a fully enclosed ...
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 AI evolved via the AC from the Morane-Saulnier Type N, but with a parasol wing. It had a rigidly braced wing with ailerons replacing the N's wing warping. It was intended to replace the Nieuport 17 and SPAD VII in French service, in competition against the SPAD XIII and Nieuport 28. It was ordered as a back-up for the SPAD XIII, in case the ...
