Kolb, Kitfox, Icon, Sherwood Ranger

[skyking3286]

Sonerai, nearly any sailplane..

 

[Mtns2Skies]

Piper PA28

 

[Ed Haywood]

Corsair, Wildcat, Hellcat.

Given a 757 is a light twin…

S-3… it’s a really light twin. Bonus, vert stab folds too.

 

[Racerx]

Just Highlander

 

[Barrett50]

Spirit SE-1

 

[Clip4]

I am assuming you mean not with too many Gs applied

 

[tsts4]

RV12, CH750

For accruarcy, the RV-12's wings are removable but are not folding.

Triple 7 on a carrier?????

 

[robin ardoin]

Why did they do that?

Same reason as carrier aircraft, as Ed subtly suggested...space available at the gate.
