Abstract: We solve the Killing-Yano equation on manifolds with a $G$-structure for $G=SO(n),U(n),SU(n),Sp(n)cdotSp(1),Sp(n),G_2$ and $Spin(7)$. Solutions include nearly-K"ahler, weak holonomy $G_2$, balanced SU(n) and holonomy $G$ manifolds. As an application, we find that particle probes on $Ad{S}_{4}imesX$ compactifications of type IIA and 11-dimensional supergravity admit a $calW$-type of symmetry generated by the fundamental forms. We also explore the $calW$-symmetries of string and particle actions in heterotic and common sector supersymmetric backgrounds. In the heterotic case, the generators of the $calW$-symmetries completely characterize the solutions of the gravitino Killing spinor equation, and the structure constants of the $calW$-symmetry algebra depend on the solution of the dilatino Killing spinor equation.
