First revealed to the public earlier this year, NASA and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory have finally begun testing what they hope will be a revolutionary new airplane wing design that replaces moving parts with shape-changing assemblies allowing wings to bend and twist to maneuver a craft through the air.

The concept behind this looks vaguely familiar! Even the same motivations: "...replaced an airplane’s conventional aluminum flaps with advanced, shape-changing assemblies that form seamless bendable and twistable surfaces"

Last week saw the testing of the Advanced Wing Systems (advancedwingsystems.com) wing on the RG650 Classe Mini 6.50. In around 8 knots of breeze the boat was doing over 6.5 knots up wind (hull speed 6.14) and exceeding the target number for the conventional rig. This was the first sail with the wing on the RG650 and there were still a few issues to sort out with the retro-fit. So we are expecting a lot more yet!
The RG650 was designed by GYD in Argentina (gyachtdesign.com) and sold by Katabatic Sailing in Valencia (katabatic-sailing.com). This is the same team that is working with AWS to bring the world's first wing sail sports boat to the market - the K8 (facebook.com/k8-sports).
The preliminary results are very exciting and we may have to adjust our performance targets for the K8 - upwards!
Help us get the word out. Please like or share!
