Wing twist is the change of the angle of incidence of the airfoil, along the span of the wing. This is also called wash out if the wing tip has a smaller or negative angle compared to the wing root, or wash in if the wing tip angle is bigger.
Wash out is added to wings to ensure the wing tip stalls first, which makes flying behaviour more predictable and low-speed flight more controllable. For a similar reason, wing tips usually have a shorter airfoil chord than wing roots.

When was the wing invented?
The wing wasnt invented; it comes off of an animal or an aeroplane! i hope i have answered ur question :)
What is decalage on a bi-plane?
Decalage on a fixed wing Biplane aircraft is the angle difference between the upper and lower wings of a fixed wing Biplane aircraft, i.e. the acute angle contained between the chords of the wings in question.The decalage is said to be positive when the upper wing has a higher total angle-of incidence than the lower wing, and negative when its total angle of incidence is lower. Positive decalage results in greater lift from the upper wing than the lower wing, the difference increasing with the amount of decalage.Uncle Fudd

What are the effects if you change the wing twist angle?
The wing twist angle is introduced to prevent stall from occurring at the wing tip before than the wing root. Usually wings are 'washout' twisted, resulting in a decreasing angle of attack starting from the root and towards the tip. Precisely, the twist angle is the angle between the zero-lift line of the profile in the current section and the zero-lift line of the root profile. As the twist angle increases along the span, the lower is the local angle of attack and the lower is the lift generated. By this we prevent the wing tip from generating as much lift as the wing root, which may cause the stall to occur at the worst place we'd like it to occur, the ailerons. By washout twist, we obtain to make stall occur at the wing root, without lost of ailerons control.
How to open a can of kiwi shoe polish?
Twist the wing on the side - the lid should just pop off.
How do you replace the rear turn signal bulb located on a 1986 Oldsmobile Ciera?
If you look in the trunk you will see black wing nuts in the trunk. Remove the wing nuts then slowly pull out the tail light so you can un plug it. To unplug hold the tabs that lock it in place and then gently twist out. Then you gently twist the build to remove it.

Where do you put the engine oil in on a 1981 gold wing gl 1100?
It's on the right side of the bike next to the break peddle. It looks like a twist off cap. It might be too hard to twist by hand. Use a wrench. It needs 3.7 L of oil.

How do you access and replace the rear turn signal bulb in a 1995 Buick Century?
Remove access panel in trunk area--Wing nuts should release taillight assembly and bulbs twist out
Is a prop shaped like a airfoil?
Yes. Propeller blades are much like the wings of an airplane. On a propeller the airfoil chord, twist and camber are change drastically from root to tip - more than on a wing.
How do you replace the lights in the trunk lid of a 2004 Buick Regal?
Open the trunk and there should be several small bolts or wing nuts that can be removed. Then the entire center housing can be removed, twist the old bulbs out and replace.
Who is the most interesting character of Oliver Twist?
Oliver Twist.
Which twist is stronger the z-twist or s-twist?
S and Z twist are two types of twist given to yarn. Before giving twist fibre /roving strand has to be parallel so that either twist given is not affected. Either of twist is suitable but in practical applications Z twist is given to yarns either be knitting or weaving.
