Wing Warping - Applications

Applications

Wing warping was a common feature of early aircraft, including:

• The Wright Flyer (1903)
• The Blériot XI (1909) following modifications introduced by Raymond Saulnier
• The Etrich and Rumpler Taubes (1910), the first mass produced military plane in Germany, originally used a cable-warped horizontal stabilizer trailing edge to give elevator functionality as well
• The Morane-Saulnier N (1915), a World War I French scout
• The Fokker Eindecker (1915), the very first German fighter plane
• The Antoinette V (1908), a wing-warping variant of the Antoinette IV
• The Antoinette VI (1909), an aileron-equipped variant of the Antoinette V. Its designer was not satisfied with its handling and later converted it back to wing-warping operation
