Abstract
A flying test bed for a flexible wing has successfully made its first flights. This flexible wing, produced by Ryan Aerospace, a Division of Ryan Aeronautical Co., Lindbergh Field, San Diego 12, California, U.S.A., is made of plastic‐coated nylon material attached to a keel and leading edge members so that it forms an arrow or V‐shaped kite‐like surface which supports the platform beneath the wing. For high‐speed applications where high temperatures are likely to be encountered, materials such as fine wire mesh cloth would be used.
