ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, segmented, easily assembled aircraft having a hollow fuselage tube, upon which the cockpit, wing, empennage, landing gear, engine, and shell segments are supported and secured, is presented. The wing construction aerodynamically extends the effective wingspan of the aircraft and stabilizes flight by including an aileron slot, which rams positive pressured air from the lower surface of the wing over the upper surface of the wing to laminarize the turbulent air near the ailerons, and including an end plate, which is toed-in and canted towards the upper surface. A fore shell segment separates from and moves fowardly of a fixed, aft shell segment along a track apparatus, secured to the hollow fuselage tube, to permit access to the cockpit of the aircraft.
