Wing, or R-loaf, is an induction coil which can be analysed as a loaf with an extra cell added as to make it asymmetric.
The wing arises as the second generation of the block and glider sequence, which itself arises as the first generation of nine. Due to this, the block and glider sequence is often itself referred to as "wing" in conduits, and abbreviated "W".
As a still life component
As mentioned previously, it can act as an induction coil. Two wings suffice to make a still life, with five possible isomers:
A sixth still life exists in which physical connection between both wings exists:
