Experimental aircraft

Overview

The Cygnet was an extremely unorthodox early Canadian aircraft, with a wall-like "wing" made up of 3,393 tetrahedral cells. It was a powered version of the Cygnet tetrahedral kite designed by Alexander Graham Bell in 1907 and built by the newly founded Aerial Experiment Association.
