The first test flights with a flying vehicle that has a flexible wing made of a plastic-coated nylon material instead of the conventional rigid metal surfaces were completed recently by the Ryan Aeronautical Company at San Diego, California. Called the Flex Wing, the craft is being developed for a variety of manned and unmmaned flight missions. The flexible wing concept is based on original work by Francis Rogallo of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; early wind tunnel and model tests were conducted at the Langley Research Center in Virginia. NASA is currently studying the adaptability of the flexible wing for recovery of the first stage booster of the Saturn space vehicle.
