The White Wing (or Aerodrome #2) was an early US aircraft designed by Frederick W. Baldwin and built by the Aerial Experiment Association in 1908. Unusual for aircraft of its day, it featured a wheeled undercarriage. The wings were equipped with ailerons controlled by a harness worn around the pilot's body; leaning in one direction would cause the aircraft to bank to follow. The ailerons led to a legal dispute with the Wright brothers over the brothers' patent on movable wing surfaces.

| - The White Wing (or Aerodrome #2) was an early US aircraft designed by Frederick W. Baldwin and built by the Aerial Experiment Association in 1908. Unusual for aircraft of its day, it featured a wheeled undercarriage. The wings were equipped with ailerons controlled by a harness worn around the pilot's body; leaning in one direction would cause the aircraft to bank to follow. The ailerons led to a legal dispute with the Wright brothers over the brothers' patent on movable wing surfaces. First piloted by Baldwin himself on 18 May and the aircraft flew very well. White Wing was then piloted by Lt Thomas Selfridge at Hammondsport, New York, on 19 May 1908 (becoming the first US Army officer to fly an airplane) and then Glenn Curtiss made a flight of 1,017 ft (310 m) in it on 21 May. On 23 May, it crashed during a landing by John McCurdy and was damaged beyond repair. (en)
- Le White Wing est le second aéronef expérimental réalisé par l'Aerial Experimental Association. Bénéficiant de l'expérience acquise avec le précédent AEA Red Wing, sa construction a été supervisée par F.W. Baldwin avec la collaboration de Glenn Curtiss. C'est un biplan à moteur arrière dont le stabilisateur canard et l'empennage arrière sont actionnés par des câbles au moyen d'une sorte de volant. Une nouveauté consiste à assurer le contrôle latéral par des ailerons triangulaires commandés par des câbles attachés à un harnais habillant le pilote. Celui-ci doit donc se pencher dans la direction où il voulait effectuer son virage. Les Frères Wright feront un procès à F.W. Baldwin pour utilisation illégale de brevets. Une autre innovation apportée sur le White Wing fut le montage d'un train tricycle imaginé par Glenn Curtiss. Baldwin réalisa le premier vol sur cet appareil le 18 mai 1908. Le 21 mai, piloté par Glenn Curtiss, le White Wing parcourut 310 m en 19 secondes à environ 3 m de hauteur. Accidenté à l’atterrissage deux jours plus tard, le White Wing ne fut pas reconstruit. (fr)
