Carrier-Based Attack Aircraft with Folded Wing, Tail Code "TC 665," at Museum of Aviation
This carrier-based attack aircraft displays its wing in the folded position, a design feature that allowed naval aircraft to be stored more compactly aboard aircraft carriers. The folding wing mechanism was essential to maximizing limited deck and hangar space on WWII and Cold War-era carriers. Project: 219309
