The Parnall Parasol was an experimental parasol winged aircraft design to measure the aerodynamic forces on wings in flight. Two were built and flown in the early 1930s in the UK. There have always been problems in getting an understanding of full-scale aircraft behavior from wind tunnel data.

Mar 2, 2010 · The parasol wing was needed so the pilot could have better visibility from the rear of the fuselage. Although designed as a mail/passenger aircraft, the craft was famous for its many record-breaking flights.

Jun 10, 2015 · The original Nemeth Parasol prototype was a taildragger that used a “round wing” design. It used a lengthened fuselage from a 1920s Alliance Argo biplane and was powered by a 90 hp Lambert engine.

In wing. Parasol wings, placed on struts high above the fuselage of seaplanes, help keep the engine from water spray. Read More

The Fokker Y1C-14B was a variant of the F-14 commercial transport. It was a single-engine parasol-wing monoplane with conventional fixed landing gear. The airplane was flown by a single pilot in an open cockpit and could carry up to six passengers in its enclosed cabin.

The Morane-Saulnier Type P, also known as the Morane-Saulnier Parasol or Morane-Saulnier Type AC, was a French fighter aircraft that served during World War I. It was designed by the Morane-Saulnier company and first flew in 1914.

The M7 boasts a parasol configuration that is not uncommon for seaplanes. The wing has a strut-braced structure, which reduces the spar weight and brings the lift loads to the landing gear beam then to the hull.

This was a single-seat, high-wing, monoplane with a span of 26 feet. It was built around a 27 hp Henderson motorcycle engine. The designers improvised somewhat - the wing was contrived of two lower wings of a Thomas-Morse Scout biplane, braced with steel tubing and cables.
