dna Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I guess refers to a delta shaped wing - does it refer to all delta wings or a specific kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel's Fury Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I guess refers to a delta shaped wing - does it refer to all delta wings or a specific kind? What arrow? Are you refering the plane "arrow" that Canada had one time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMoose Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) It's a specific kind of delta wing. The F-16XL has a cranked arrow wing, as does the Chinese J-7E (sort of). It's essentially a compound sweep delta. It's not really the same thing as a double-delta (SAAB Draken or Viggen), though.

It's essentially a compound sweep delta. It's not really the same thing as a double-delta (SAAB Draken or Viggen), though. I see!!! Thanks for the clarification!!! Now let the discussion commence!!!

dna Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Are there any diagrams comparing the two? Just want to see the difference in shapes in a line art form if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dna Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) Ah, so it's that crook near the end of the wing as opposed to a straight edge.. Thanks. Edited June 15, 2004 by dna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
