A wing blended in with fuselage makes a much more aerodynamic and efficient design.
A BWB (Blended wing body) aircraft is where the fuselage and the wings blend seamlessly into each other, and you cant really tell where the fuse. ends and the wing starts. A brilliant example is the B-2.
There were several notable aircraft that utilized the Gull Wing i.e. The F4U Corsair and the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka . See links .
A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft which has wings that are attached to the aircraft and do not move. The term is used to differentiate airplanes from other types of flying vehicles such as lifting-body aircraft (balloons and blimps) or rotary aircraft such as helicopters and auto gyros. All airplanes are considered fixed-wing aircraft and even swing-wing or otherwise moving-wing airplanes are usually referred to as being in the fixed-wing category of aircraft.
AUTOROTATION is only for Rotary Wing aircraft...not fixed wing
Upper and lower wings are on 'biplanes' -this feature offers more 'lift', but also more 'drag'. Many early aircraft were biplanes.
Approximately 37 US fixed-wing aircraft and 23 rotor-wing aircraft were lost during DS. Approximately 15 of those fixed-wing aircraft & 18 of the rotor-wing aircraft were lost to operational causes (accidents).
The wing spar on this aircraft is one solid assembly tip to wing tip so it is an integral part of the fuselage. This aircraft is not the usual kingair wingbolt bathtub fitting holding the wing on.
An aircraft wing that is angled back.
>No it cannot fly with one wing. UNLESS the aircraft's body actually produces sufficient lift, such as a "flying wing" aircraft
Approximately 2,000 fixed wing aircraft were lost; approximately 5,000 rotary-wing aircraft were lost.
For which aircraft? Every aircraft is different.
Approximately 36 aircraft in a wing
