✦ Synopsis

The author deals with wings of various plan-forms; delta wings, arrow-head or swept-back wings, rectangular wings, trapezoidal or polygonal wings a.s.o, as well as more complex systems such as cruciform wings, wings fitted with a body, etc. Also studied, in view of their importance, are gothic wings of different variations as they are made use of in the practice of supersonic aviation
