Zusammenfassung:A wing system is provided for an air vehicle, the air vehicle having a fuselage including a fuselage section and a fuselage longitudinal axis, the wing system having at least one wing deployment module. Each wing deployment module includes a set of wing elements, including at least a first wing element having a first wing element longitudinal axis, and a second wing element having a second wing element longitudinal axis. Each wing deployment module is configured for selectively transitioning between a respective stowed configuration and a respective deployed configuration. In the stowed configuration, the first wing element and the second wing element are in overlying relationship such that the first wing element longitudinal axis and the second wing element longitudinal axis are nominally parallel with one another. In the deployed configuration, the first wing element is oriented with respect to the second wing element such that the first wing element longitudinal axis is non-parallel with respect to the second wing element longitudinal axis.
