Talk:Custer Channel Wing

Nomenclature and projects
Somewhere, probably somewhere not citable, I saw a comment that the number referred to the seats. That certainly works for the CCW-1, -2 and -5, and would explain the jump from 2 to 5. True or not, it is interesting that Jane's AWA 1956 has a piece about the CCW-2, as well as the -5, and though there is little detail it is clearly not the uncovered Taylorcraft machine of 1948. Jawa says this CCW-2 is a tandem two seater, with a prototype being built and "immediate production" planned. They describe it as as having a single channel wing, but say no more on the layout. Perhaps it was like the twin boom pusher sketched in the 1952 Flight article? Anyone know more?
