WSC Components and Systems

Go back to the main Weight-Shift Control Aircraft Flight Page.

Weight-shift control (WSC) aircraft come in an array of shapes and sizes, but the basic design features are fundamentally the same. All WSC consist of a flexible wing made with a sail fitted over a rigid airframe. A separate carriage is the fuselage which consists of the flight deck, propulsion system, and landing gear. [Figure 3-1]

Flight Literacy Recommends

Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook -Flight Literacy recommends Rod Machado's products because he takes what is normally dry and tedious and transforms it with his characteristic humor, helping to keep you engaged and to retain the information longer. (see all of Rod Machado's Products).
