Abstract:
An aircraft with wings that may be fixed for flight and which swing and fold for storage and for maneuvering and otherwise operating the aircraft while not in flight is disclosed. An embodiment includes wings which swing backwards and through the body of the aircraft and then fold by drooping elevons which span the trailing edges of the wings along the sides of the body. Another embodiment includes wings which swing forward and control surfaces which fold upwards at the sides of the aircraft. The invention provides for a narrow width for the aircraft when not in flight using a simple mechanism.
