Jones and others have been quietly pondering the antisymmetrical wing for more than two decades, but he hesitated to push for it any sooner. "It was too weird for its time." he explains. Now he feels the time has come. He has already successfully tested small models of the plane in wind tunnels at Ames and sent other models aloft on radio controlled subsonic flights. Building a full-scale prototype would be costly and would undoubtedly involve difficult engineering problems, but NASA apparently shares Jones' enthusiasm for the plane.
