Wing is a diagonal spaceship that was discovered by Hartmut Holzwart in 1993, consisting of two gliders pulling a large tagalong. It was the first extensible c/4 diagonal spaceship to be found.[1]

gollark: *But* efficient ones do actually have to be designed.
gollark: If you want efficient design it is more thinky.
gollark: It's not as if the HECf reactors run efficiently at all.
gollark: Oh nooooo, how horrible, people are designing high-heat reactors and using them on low-heat stuff...
