Weight-shift-control aircraft: Powered aircraft with a framed pivoting wing and a fuselage controllable only in pitch and roll by the pilots ability to change the aircrafts center of gravity with respect to the wing. Flight control of the aircraft depends on the wings ability to flexibly deform rather than the use of control surfaces.
