 The Rogallo Wing is a flexible and versatile airfoil design that was
developed by American aeronautical engineer Francis Rogallo in the 1940s. It
consists of two partial-conic surfaces that are joined at their bases to form a
kite-like shape, with a bridle attached to control the angle of attack and
steering.
The Rogallo Wing was originally designed as a recovery system for spacecraft,
but it was later used in a variety of other applications, including hang
gliders, paragliders, and powered ultralight aircraft. Its unique design allows
for excellent lift and stability, and its flexibility and ease of use make it an
ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
Today, the Rogallo Wing is still used in various recreational and commercial
applications, and it continues to be an important part of the history of
aviation and aeronautical engineering.
