It's, well...a wing. With an engine. And a propellor. And some other...stuff.

The result of temporary madness, this incredible aircraft was 'designed' and built by Gordon Spencer using whatever bits were lying about. The mainplane started life as a pair of foam core wings from a Mirage kit. A bit of sheeting, some finlets and elevons, and there you have it - the Wing.

The most amazing thing about the Wing is that it flies, and very well, too.
