Wight Quadruplane/Wight Type 4

30.0k Dumpworks  8.7 years ago

An experimental quadruplane fighter aircraft developed by Britain, the builder of the aircraft was inspired by the Sopwith Triplane, some interesting design choices was the fact that it had a very small wingspan, and two wings were mounted on the fuselage instead of one, but the wing design was a faliure and the only example of the Wight Quadruplane crashed, after the crash no further work was done
