An annular wing is described for the purpose of supporting an aircraft in flight without the use of directional stabilizer surfaces. The wing comprises an annular body of substantially uniform symmetrical configuration characterized by an annular positive lifting surface and a chord line. The wing is highly maneuverable, simple in concept, economic to fabricate and characterized by stable horizontal flight properties at subsonic speeds.
