well, then not 'invented' but 'developed' :)

gives a new spin to the idea and hopefully will make air travel more safe and enjoyable


Sorry, Belarus cannot even claim "developed". I saw that style design on homebuilt aircraft at the 1999 EAA Oshkosh Airshow. "Commercialized" may be the only verb left to claim...


Its ready for manufactoring. The work started 15 years ago.


Is that halfway between manufacturing and refactoring?


I think it means you need to break the airplane into components by hand...


from the article:

1) it increases the angle at which army planes can attack (now its only 13%, but will be twice more)

2) it stands up to 2 times stronger side wind

3) reduces fuel spending

4) easier to make as the normal wings have a lot of mechanicks in them

5) less space needed to take off, also can take off on uneven surfaces


Its 40-60% better for almost any type of airplane, including the big ones


I also like the reduced cross section of the plane...
