Abstract
This chapter summarizes the wing configurations of fixed-wing aircraft, popularly called aeroplanes, airplanes or just planes. Here we provide a breakdown of types , allowing a full description of any aircraft's wing configuration . For example the Spitfire wing may be classified as a conventional low wing cantilever monoplane with straight elliptical wings of moderate aspect ratio and slight dihedral. Sometimes the distinction between types is blurred, for example the wings of many modern combat aircraft may be described either as cropped compound deltas with (forwards or backwards) swept trailing edge , or as sharply tapered swept wings with large" Leading Edge Root Extension" (or LERX). All the configurations described have flown (if only very briefly) on full-size aircraft, except as noted. Some variants may be duplicated under more than one heading, due to their complex nature. This is particularly so for variable geometry and combined (closed) wing types.
