Continuing to experiment with a wing with a variable angle of attack (variable-incidence wing), American engineer George Wilbur Cornelius built his second aircraft in 1933, the designation LW-1 (from Low-Wing, and as a further development of the PW-1, from Parasol-Wing).
The low-wing two-seater LW-1 (X13706) used the short-lived four-cylinder inverted in-line 120 hp Martin 133 engine and had the same control system as the Cornelius FreWing. The incidence of the mainplanes was adjusted differentially like ailerons, and collectively like elevators in conjunction with a stabilator tailplane.
It was intended to improve performance by dispensing with the drag of the multiple strutting needed for its parasol predecessor.
The LW-1 NX13706 is one of a kind.
