The cross may take either of two forms: Wings equally spaced around the cross-section of the fuselage, lying in two planes at right angles, as on a typical missile. Wings lying together in a single horizontal plane about a vertical axis, as in the cruciform rotor wing or X-wing.
Wings with a symmetrical cross-section can also generate lift by using a positive angle of attack to deflect air downward. Symmetrical airfoils have higher stalling speeds than cambered airfoils of the same wing area [ 9 ] but are used in aerobatic aircraft as they provide the same flight characteristics whether the aircraft is upright or ...
The Blohm & Voss BV 141 (originally the Ha 141) [3] was a World War II German tactical reconnaissance aircraft, notable for its uncommon structural asymmetry.Although the Blohm & Voss BV 141 performed well, it was never ordered into full-scale production, for reasons that included the unavailability of the preferred engine and competition from another tactical reconnaissance aircraft, the ...
A cruciform wing is a set of four individual wings arranged in the shape of a cross.The cross may take either of two forms; the wings may be equally spaced around the cross-section of the fuselage, lying in two planes at right angles, as on a typical missile, or they may lie together in a single horizontal plane about a vertical axis, as in the cruciform rotor wing or X-wing.
The NACA four-digit wing sections define the profile by: [2] First digit describing maximum camber as percentage of the chord.; Second digit describing the distance of maximum camber from the airfoil leading edge in tenths of the chord.

Oblique wing on a NASA AD-1. An oblique wing (also called a slewed wing) is a variable geometry wing concept. On an aircraft so equipped, the wing is designed to rotate on center pivot, so that one tip is swept forward while the opposite tip is swept aft.
