Abstract

The aeroplane (1) has two small forward lateral wings (2) arranged symmetrically on either side, in such a way that they can be rotated so as to produce an aerodynamic pitching moment upon the aircraft. At their tips they have a small section (3) which can rotate freely in the air flow in relation to the fuselage so that the angular deviation of these sections in relation to the fuselage is a measure of the angle of incidence of the aircraft. At the rear of the fuselage is a conventional fin and rudder, but no elevators, their place being taken by the small wings. The aircraft has normal main wings. The rotation of the small wings is controlled by the pilot.
