Trans-mirrored wing is a 16-cell strict still life consisting of two mutually stabilising wings. It is one of six ways in which two wings can be arranged to create a still life, and one of the five which have two separate islands.
This specific isomer is named trans-mirrored due to the two inducting faces not being skewed from each other (hence mirrored), and the "denser" parts of each island are on opposite sides (hence trans). This naming scheme is technically contradictory due to the lack of mirror symmetry; rather, it is one of the three possible isomers with rotational symmetry.
Trans-mirrored wing is the 37th most common 16-cell still life.
All strict still lifes with a population of 23 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 35 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
