The WATP is an experimental aircraft designed Entirely to test a new type of wing. Normally, when in flight, the wings would stay perfectly still, allowing air to pass over it. But with the WATP, the wing moves, or bends. When making a turn, or elevating, pressure is applied to the wings, but with the WATP, less pressure is applied to the wing because it moves. This wing is designed to be aerodynamically unstable, like the eurofighter typhoon, but it stays in the air to the craft's lifting body design. Yay science!
