But thick, deep wings are not exactly known as the very definition of aerodynamic efficiency either. Are we sure that a sleek long tube added to a well-designed wing can be beaten by a wing that is full of compromise to accommodate seating?
- nabla9 7y agoIt's the thickness-to-chord ratio that matters, not absolute thickness. Swept wing in the Flying-V is clever way to get a optimal thickness-to-chord while keeping the total surface area in check.
