Abstract
A stowable wing structure incorporates a wing having a span equal to a fuselage length and movable from a stowed position longitudinally aligned with the fuselage to a deployed position perpendicular to the fuselage. A pivot offset laterally from a centerline of the fuselage and aft from a symmetry point on the centerline with a corresponding offset forward toward the leading edge from a chord centerpoint on the wing allows rotation of the wing from the stowed position to the deployed position with the rotation resulting in an aft position of the chord center point relative to the fuselage symmetry point.
