The Armstrong Whitworth F.K.10 was a British First World War quadruplane fighter. Testing proved that the additional wings produced too much drag. Of the 50 ordered, only 8 were built. destinationsjourney.com/histor #ArmstrongWhitworthFK10 #aviation #FirstWorldWar #quadraplane #RFC #RNAS #RoyalFlyingCorps #RoyalNavalAirService #WorldWarOne

The Armstrong Whitworth F.K.10 was a British First World War quadruplane fighter developed as part of a brief period of experimental interest in multi-wing aircraft. Designed by the Dutch-born engineer Frederick Koolhoven, the F.K.10 aimed to improve lift and manoeuvrability by stacking four narrow-chord wings in a compact arrangement. Although the concept appeared promising on paper, it emerged late in 1916, just as biplane fighters were proving dominant in both performance and practicality.

The British government placed an order for 50 aircraft, but testing quickly revealed limitations. The additional wings produced more drag than anticipated, reducing performance, while the expected advantages in lift and agility did not materialise. As aviation understanding progressed, designers recognised that the aerodynamic penalties of four-wing layouts outweighed any theoretical benefits. Only five were built of the RFC order, with a further three built for the RNAS. They were not used operationally and the design was not developed further.

Translation of viral #RNAs is often driven by non-canonical events, which are encoded in the viral genome to hijack the cellular translation machinery. One such event is programmed ribosomal #frameshifting. It prompts the translating #ribosome to slip one nucleotide back or forth into a different reading frame, enabling viral replication. Researchers from the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg unveiled the structural transitions in the #SARSCoV2 frameshifting process. 🧬 👩‍🔬 🦠
