04/30/2008. Remarks by Walter van Tilborg: "The unusual configuration homebuilt N.F.2 Aster*X II was designed and built by Messrs. Rudolf Nickel and Joseph Foucard (hence N.F.2). The one-of-a-kind two-seater first flew in 1994 and it had been preceded by the very similar N.F.1 Aster*X. Both aircraft had a so called pivoting wing which could move in all directions for lateral and longitudinal control (a system also used in the Spratt Controlwing designs. |
