'''Wing''', or '''R-loaf''', is an [[induction coil]] which can be analysed as a [[loaf]] with an extra cell added as to make it asymmetric.
'''Wing''', or '''R-loaf''', is an [[induction coil]] which can be analysed as a [[loaf]] with an extra cell added as to make it asymmetric.
The wing arises as the second generation of the [[block and glider]] sequence, which itself arises as the first generation of [[nine]].
'''Wing''' (W in conduit names), also called '''block and glider''', is a common evolutionary sequence that stabilizes at [[generation]] 104 as a [[block]] and a [[glider]].
A [https://www.conwaylife.com/patterns/wswminus3.rle WSW-3] [[conduit]] can be made by eating the extra block using a [[block]] or [[eater 1]].
The six-cell grandparent of the wing is technically a failed puffer, as it reappears 32 generations later shifted 3 cells right and 7 cells up only to be turned into a [[B-heptomino]] 3 generations later.
The term "block and glider" traditionally refers to the most common grandparent of the wing, which has six cells and a lifespan of 106 generations. That pattern has a six-cell parent called [[nine]], although this name is rare. [[Confused eaters]] hassles this predecessor.
Like other common evolutionary sequences, wings can be hassled, such as in the {{LinkCatagolue|code=xp25_yj3pmggmp3y3g8oggzyl1111y46rg624jqi4ozyjccy0o8gy15ao7hv0oi6p9z8eh5e0u5he8gy17bcy0ooy033y3122101221z2eh5c4j2j4dizx11345d871y3cm66mczye321w123|patternname=p25 wing and block hassler|style=raw}}{{refn|group=note|An alternative version of this oscillator is shown in [[jslife]] with a different method of stabilization.<ref>{{CiteSummersPattern|name=jslife|accessdate=November 9, 2021}}</ref> [[Nicolay Beluchenko]] found the simpler stabilization with two [[fumarole]]s later on.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/Matthias-Merzenich/osc-supplement|author=Matthias Merzenich|title=osc-supplement pattern collection|date=April 18, 2018|accessdate=November 9, 2021}}</ref> However, it is unknown when or by whom this reaction was found.<ref name="post115412" />}} and {{LinkCatagolue|code=xp128_y3ca73oswcczyqg88gzy1ggyh6bbcxca4z8ko010onmcy04eewuscy26dt30g0352z4a6x6qqcyh11zy01221zyh66w73osa6|patternname=p128 wing shuttle|style=raw}};<ref name="post135248" /> the latter is the smallest p128 oscillator by population.
