Rogallo Wing - Airplanes and RocketsThe 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.
