"The slip wing Hurricane was an impressive if strange sight. Structurally, the
slip wing itself, attached relatively lightly as it was, was not designed to
handle the aerodynamic stresses and g-forces of combat. The bi-wing concept was
experimented with as a device for ferrying aircraft (with the upper wing
possibly functioning as a massive flying gas tank) or to allow the aircraft to
take off from shorter fields with heavy payloads.
"The slip wing Hurricane was actually designed to enable a Hurricane to lift a
greater load or take off from a shorter field, but it was found that later
Hurricane variants could achieve the requirements on their own, so the idea was
not necessary.
