Aircraft wing with dual axis mobility

An aircraft, further comprising:

• a keel;
• a tail assembly attached to the keel;
• a slider slidably attached to the keel such that the slider can move longitudinally in relation to the keel;
• at least a first and second dual axis wings, the dual axis wings pivotably attached to the slider such that the wings may pivot on the slider in a substantially longitudinal direction;
• control means attached to the dual axis wings such that the dual axis wings can be pivoted from a substantially flared position to a substantially swept position as the slider is moved longitudinally under control of the control means;
• and
• the slider is split into a first slider segment attached to the first dual axis wing and a second slider segment attached to the second dual axis wing, each slider segment capable of independent longitudinal motion in relation to the keel, and each dual axis wing capable of independent pivoting on its respective slider segment;
• whereby the dual axis wings pivot as they move longitudinally and can be independently moved from a flared to a swept position.

An aircraft, further comprising:

• a fuselage;
• a tail assembly attached to the fuselage;
• a slider slidably attached to the fuselage such that the slider can move longitudinally in relation to the fuselage;
• at least a first and second dual axis wings, the dual axis wings pivotably attached to the slider such that the wings may pivot on the slider in a substantially longitudinal direction, and further attached to the slider such that they may pivot laterally in relation to the keel;
• and
• control means attached to the dual axis wings such that the dual axis wings can be pivoted from a substantially flared position to a substantially swept position as the slider is moved longitudinally under control of the control means;
• whereby the dual axis wings pivot longitudinally and laterally in relation to the keel.

An aircraft, further comprising:

• a keel;
• a tail assembly attached to the keel;
• a slider slidably attached to the keel such that the slider can move longitudinally in relation to the keel and the slider is attached to the keel such that it can rotate laterally in relation to the keel;
• at least a first and second dual axis wings, the dual axis wings pivotably attached to the slider such that the wings may pivot on the slider in a substantially longitudinal direction;
• and
• control means attached to the dual axis wings such that the dual axis wings can be pivoted from a substantially flared position to a substantially swept position as the slider is moved longitudinally under control of the control means;
• whereby the dual axis wings can slide longitudinally, pivot as they move longitudinally, and rotate laterally.

An aircraft, further comprising:

• a keel;
• a tail assembly attached to the keel;
• a slider slidably attached to the keel such that the slider can move longitudinally in relation to the keel;
• at least a first and second dual axis wings, the dual axis wings pivotably attached to the slider such that the wings may pivot on the slider in a substantially longitudinal direction, and further attached to the slider such that they may pivot laterally in relation to the keel;
• and
• control means attached to the dual axis wings such that the dual axis wings can be pivoted from a substantially flared position to a substantially swept position as the slider is moved longitudinally under control of the control means;
• whereby the dual axis wings pivot longitudinally and laterally in relation to the keel.

An aircraft, further comprising:

• a fuselage;
• a tail assembly attached to the fuselage;
• a slider slidably attached to the fuselage such that the slider can move longitudinally in relation to the fuselage;
• at least a first and second dual axis wings, the dual axis wings pivotably attached to the slider such that the wings may pivot on the slider in a substantially longitudinal direction;
• control means attached to the dual axis wings such that the dual axis wings can be pivoted from a substantially flared position to a substantially swept position as the slider is moved longitudinally under control of the control means;
• and
• the slider is split into a first slider segment attached to the first dual axis wing and a second slider segment attached to the second dual axis wing, each slider segment capable of independent longitudinal motion in relation to the keel, and each dual axis wing capable of independent pivoting on its respective slider segment;
• whereby the dual axis wings pivot as they move longitudinally and can be independently moved from a flared to a swept position.

A sailcraft, further comprising:

• at least one hull;
• a keel attached to the hull;
• a slider slidably attached to the keel such that the slider can move longitudinally along at least a portion of the keel, the slider further capable of lateral rotation on the keel;
• at least a first and second dual axis wings, the dual axis wings pivotably attached to the slider such that the wings may pivot on the slider in a substantially longitudinal direction;
• tilt and rotate means to tilt and rotate the first and second dual axis wings in relation to the hull;
• and
• control means attached to the dual axis wings such that the dual axis wings can be moved from a flared position to a swept position by pivoting the dual axis wings on the slider under control of the control means, and further, the control means attached to the dual axis wings such that the dual axis wings can be rotated on the keel;
• whereby the dual axis wings are simultaneously pivot on the slider while the slider moves longitudinally, and the dual axis wings tilt and rotate in relation to the hull.
