A telescoping wing comprised of multiple nestling sections, capable of automatically extending and retracting, varying the span of the wing and greatly reducing the space needed for storage of the wing. The telescoping wing utilizes an internal wing spar assembly comprised of a series of adjacent sliding, interconnected wing spars within hollow individual wing sections, with wing skin panels connected by wing ribs to the wing spar assembly to provide structural support for the wing while extended, and also allow the individual sections to nestle within one another to achieve a great reduction in wingspan when retracted. Mechanical extension and retractions mechanisms work upon individual spar sections within the wing spar assembly to extend or retract the telescoping wing as needed automatically.
