6. Airfoils and Wings - Virginia Tech
www.dept.aoe.vt.edu6. Airfoils and Wings The primary lifting surface of an aircraft is its wing. The wing has a finite length called its wing span. If the wing is sliced with a plane parallel to the x-z plane of the aircraft, the intersection of the wing surfaces with that plane is called an airfoil. This airfoil shape can be

CHAPTER 5 WING DESIGN - unina.it
wpage.unina.it5.2. Number of Wings One of the decisions a designer must make is to select the number of wings. The options are: 1. Monoplane (i.e. one wing) 2. Two wings (i.e. biplane) 3. Three wings The number of wings higher than three is not practical. Figure 5.2 illustrates front view of three aircraft with various configurations. 1.
