Occurrence

Main article: List of natural spaceships

At 27 cells, it is the fifth smallest spaceship yet to appear from soup, after the three 25-cell spaceships crab, 25P3H1V0.1 and 25P3H1V0.2, and the 26-cell Edge-repair spaceship 1.

Glider synthesis

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 2019.

Wings is currently the smallest spaceship whose cost in gliders exceeds its minimum population.
