What is the best wing shape?
Delta wings and sweep back wings are preferred respectively.
Does a kite has two sets of parallel lines?
Yes, plenty of delta wing 'power kites' do. each set of lines connects to a yoke to maneuver the kite.
Does the shape of a plane wing affect the flight?
Yes, wing shape is important for several reasons: If the shape is wrong, then the air flow will peel loose from the wing's upper surface. If this happens, then the air flow becomes turbulent, and the wing can no longer deflect the air. This is called "STALL." So the shape of the wing is important in preventing stall. If a wing was flat like a board, it would work fine as long as it wasn't tilted. If tilted, the air flow peels loose from the leading edge, and Stall is created. But it MUST be tilted in order to create lift. The solution is simple: make the leading edge round, and the trailing edge sharp. An airfoil must be shaped like a streamlined teardrop. That way it can be tilted, and the air still flows smoothly around the leading edge. Stall is prevented. To deflect air and provide lift, the trailing edge of the wing must tilt down. We could tilt the whole wing. But if the wing angle is too steep, the air flow will not follow the wing surface. The wing will "stall." But when flying slowly, less air gets deflected, so the wing must be tilted more. Doesn't this mean that large heavy airplanes can't fly? Would their wings tilt too much, then stall? No, because wings can have an arch shape or cup shape. If a wing is humped up in the center, then it will smoothly deflect air, and stalls are prevented. This shape is called "airfoil camber." A heavy slow plane needs a highly cambered wing. A fast small plane needs a wing which is almost flat. The side view of airplane wings looks like a bent teardrop shape, with a round front and a sharp back. WARNING: some people will tell you that a wing must be curved on top and flat on the bottom. This is wrong. The curves don't matter at all. Instead, the front edge of a wing must be round, and the wing must be cambered (curved.) Some high-lift wings are so cambered that the bottom is not flat at all, instead it arches inwards.
How do planes stay in the air?
As an aircraft's wing moves through the air at speed the air on top of the wing is forced to follow a longer path than the air moving underneath the wing [due to the spahe of the wing] This reduces air pressure on the upper surface of the wing and creates lift.
How does an airplane stay up in the air?
Winglift.Lift is pressure on the wing due differential air pressure below and above wing. This difference results from the difference in curvature of the wing top and bottom..
What is a camber on a airplane?
The camber on a wing refers to the curvature of the wing. A high camber means the wing is thick and produces more lift but flies slower. A low camber means the wing is thinner, produces less lift but flies much faster.
Why is camber important for aircrafts?
The camber on the wings of an aircraft affect how the airplane maneuvers, especially at different speeds. Engineers reduce or increase camber on wings in order to manipulate lift, for example through the use of variable camber they can design a wing that stalls first at the root and last toward the wingtips in order to help the pilot maintain control.
What types of flap system increases the wing area and changes the wing camber?
Fowler
What type of flap system increases the wing area and changes the wing camber?
Fowler
Why is delta-wing aeroplane so called?
It's called delta wing because the wing is shaped like the Greek letter delta: Δ.
What is a delta wing?
Delta wing is the swept back wing design seen on jet airplanes like the Concorde. It is also a race car used in Le Mans in 2012.
Why did the X-29 airplane was built?
There were a number of reasons: the use of advanced composites in aircraft construction; variable camber wing surfaces; a forward-swept wing and a thin supercritical aerofoil; strake flaps; close-coupled canards; and a computerized fly-by-wire flight control system to maintain control of the otherwise unstable aircraft.
Five factor that affect aerodynamic lift?
Shape as in the curvature of the wing (camber), Size as in the wing's size, Speed,Thrust , the weight of the aircraft, may be drag too.

How do airoplans fly?
The common answer is that air flowing over the top speeds up because of the camber of the wing, this sped up air causes low pressure on top of the wing which causes the wing to 'lift'. This is true but also the angle of attack of the wing to the relative airflow forces airflow down, which also in turn pushes the wing up. This can be shown simply by the fact that aerobatic airplanes with symmetrical airfoils fly just fine (with no camber whatsoever). So it is a combination of low pressure on top of the wing and the angle of attack of the wing forcing airflow down, which forces the wing up.
What is the Delta Force?
delta force is a series of video games for the pc.....it is based on the real life us army special operations wing known as delta force
Why is it that the delta wing is efficient in high speed?
Delta wings have a high aspect ratio, which allows them to generate more lift at high speeds compared to other wing shapes. The swept-back design also helps reduce drag at supersonic speeds by delaying the onset of shock waves, improving the wing's aerodynamic performance. Additionally, the delta shape provides good maneuverability and stability at high speeds.
