That wing-fold geometry pre-dates (Homebuilt) Dyke Delta by 20 years.
 
Thanks very much, appreciated and an interesting topic.
 
That is a very advanced design - reminds me of Junkers designs from '44-45.

I suppose this counts as a biplane?

It'd be very interesting to get more information on the shape of the second extendable wing!
