Abstract
A collapsible wing with a frame and a canopy, such that the frame transitions between a deployed state in which the canopy has an aerodynamic profile and a collapsed state with a reduced profile. The frame may have a central spar and two leading edge members pivotally connected to a hinge that slides along the central spar. The leading edge members have an orientation that extends outwardly from the central spar when the frame is in the deployed state and are generally aligned with the central spar when the frame is in the collapsed state.
