Not to be confused with wing (spaceship).

Wings (or 27P4H1V1) is a c/4 diagonal spaceship found by Jason Summers on September 13, 2000. It consists of two gliders pulling a small tagalong.

A 64-glider synthesis for Wings was found by Goldtiger997 on October 28, 2019. This was reduced to 42 gliders over the next few days due to optimizations by various people, and was reduced again to 31 gliders in December.

Nicolay Beluchenko found various tagalongs for Wings in September 2005, as shown below.
