Keeler-Cornelius Fre-Wing X182W

Keeler-Cornelius Fre-Wing X182W (msn PW-1). In the mid-1920s George Wilbur Cornelius started a program of experimentation on variable incidence wings, forming the Cornelius Aircraft Co. at Glendale, California in 1930.The first aircraft, the Fre-Wing, was designed by Cornelius and C.C. Spangenberger as a parasol monoplane single-seater in which the incidence of the mainplanes was adjusted differentially like ailerons, and collectively like elevators in conjunction with a stabilator tailplane. The design was briefly revived in early 1941 by Cornelius-Hoepli, powered by a 130hp Franklin engine
