Discovery Wings was a British TV channel devoted to documentaries regarding aircraft and as a brand extension of Wings, a staple documentary program of the Discovery Channel throughout the 1990s. In the United States it has been replaced by the Military Channel, which still has a large portion of its programming dedicated to military aviation.
In the UK, Discovery Wings was axed in favour of a new channel called Discovery Turbo, on 1 March 2007. The new channel shows programs related to speed and all motor vehicles, including aviation documentaries.
