Fokker E.III

Wow! Leave it to The Vintage Aviator to put together a reproduction as nice as that, and have another one in the works that they're building the engine for!
Thanks for posting this article!

Another classic by the TVA. Lovely to watch, I was surprised at how well it manoeuvered for a wing-warper.
 
Fokker wing warping

Good Morning,
yes really fine to see a Fokker E III flying.
From the aerddynamic view I wonder if a warping wing is not better than a wing
with ailerons.
Of course for modern planes it would not be possible due to structural problems.
But with modern materials employed could it not be interesting for light aircraft as
ULM' s?
Best Regards
Yours
