Guy Connects 9 Small Planes by Their Wings and Creates a Giant ‘Flexwing’

by twistedsifter

 

RC airplane builder Ran D. St. Clair created this quirky ‘flexwing’ by connecting 9 smaller airplanes together at their wings.

The launch was certainly unorthodox and the flight and movements of the hybrid machine were quite surprising. Skip to the end for the ‘landing’ and kudos to Tim Rodriguez for the drone footage.

For an explainer on the design and how/why it works, check out this vid.
