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. Due to this, the block and glider sequence is often itself referred to as "wing" in conduits, and abbreviated "W".

As a still life component

As mentioned previously, it can act as an induction coil. Two wings suffice to make a still life, with five possible isomers:

Cis-mirrored wing	Trans-mirrored wing	Shift-mirrored wing	Cis-rotated wing	Trans-rotated wing

A sixth still life exists in which physical connection between both wings exists:

Wing bridge wing
