Hello Everybody … So I was thinking of doing an F4U Corsair single type build. Then it dawned on me how about a gull winged aircraft build. This includes Land, Sea, Inverted, and for @Adam Poultney sailplanes. Anything that has flown, is/was on the drawing boards, or historical sketches or prototypes by designers like Chanute, Langley, R.J.Mitchell, or Leonardo Da Vinci would also be acceptable. Following is a list from Wikipedia of the most well known military types. Land plane examples: PZL P.1 PZL P.6 PZL P.7 PZL P.8 PZL P.11 PZL P.24 Henschel Hs 121 Loire 46 Polikarpov I-153 Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk Stinson gull wing reliant C-82 Packet transport C-119 Boxcar transport B-25 Mitchell Piaggio P.166 Handley Page HP.42 Inverted wing examples: Aichi B7A Blohm & Voss Ha 137 Heinkel He.70 Heinkel He.112 Heinkel He.116 Heinkel He.119 Junkers Ju 87 Stuka Vought F4U Corsair Yermolayev Yer-2 Fairey gannet Miles Master/Martinet series Seaplane examples: Beriev Be-4 Beriev Be-6 Beriev Be-12 Beriev Be-103 Blohm & Voss Ha.139 Dornier Do 26 Martin Mariner Martin P5M Marlin Piaggio P.136 Short Knuckleduster Finally but no less important are the gull wing sailplanes: Bowlus Senior Albatross DFS Habicht DFS Kranich DFS Reiher Göppingen Gö 3 Minimoa Lawrence Tech IV "Yankee Doodle" Lippisch Fafnir Ross RS-1 Zanonia Schweyer Rhönsperber Slingsby Kite Weltensegler Ikarus Košava Jet examples: Heinkel He.162 Heinkel He.P 1078 X-29 Gull wings as seen from above: (Hear me out if you look at these aircraft from directly above, the wing is in a gull shape).
