    Description

    This is a certificate issued in the 1960’s by Custer Channel Wing Corporation.
    In
    1925
    , Willard Custer observed how very strong winds had managed to lift the roof of a barn. Custer realized it was the high velocity of the wind that created this suction, even when the barn itself was obviously not moving. He started studies into this phenomenon, and by
    1928
    he had made the first models of a wing with a half-tube-formed section instead of the usual wing profile. This was patented in
    1929
    . Development of the half-tube channel wing was then refined further, and on November 12
    1942
    the CCW-1 (
    Custer Channel Wing 1
    ) airplane was flying for the first time. Custer built additional experimental aircraft, the last one was CCW-5, of which a few were manufactured in
    1964
    .
