Aircraft Vehicle

- The Flettner airplane has a spinning cylinder in place of a wing, relying on the Magnus effect to create lift.
- The FanWing is a recent innovation with some similarities to the Flettner rotor design. It uses a fixed wing with a cylindrical fan mounted spanwise just above . As the fan spins, it creates an airflow backwards over the upper surface of the wing, creating lift. The FanWing is (2010) in development in the United Kingdom.
