Now I'm seeing ships volant everywhere! The logo on this page approximates my original impression of the flying ship volant: http://www.spaceblue.com/products/pdfblender/ Of course, that ain't no "flying ship."

It has just now occurred to me that banks of oars extended to either side of a penteconter (for example) may have a winglike appearance and movement when viewed from before or abaft and have plenty of textev that vessels equipped with ranks of oars and oarsmen are familiar sights in the Commonwealth. This would even avoid violating the heraldric rule for wing placement in re volant.
