[1] The Mitchell Wing started off as a foot-launched hang glider with good soaring performance.

Mitchell later modified the design into a powered ultralight aircraft with wheeled tricycle landing gear, known as the B-10.

[2] The B-10 was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb (115 kg).

[1] The B-10's fuselage is made from aluminum tubing while the wing has a birch plywood D-cell leading edge and foam ribs, covered with Dacron sailcloth or doped aircraft fabric.

The controls are conventional three axis, comprising trailing elevons and wing tip mounted vertical rudders, and operated via a top-mounted centre stick.
