A delta wing is a wing shaped in the form of a triangle. It is named for its similarity in shape to the Greek uppercase letter delta (Δ). Although long studied, it did not find significant applications until the Jet Age , when it proved suitable for high-speed subsonic and supersonic flight.

It was intended to test the feasibility of full yaw, pitch and roll authority without tailplanes (horizontal or vertical). Attitude control would rely purely on 3D thrust vectoring. [1] The aircraft design was derived from the F-22 Raptor and featured a stretched delta wing without tail surfaces. [1]

The Rafale was developed as a modern jet fighter with a very high level of agility; Dassault chose to combine a delta wing with active close-coupled canard to maximize manoeuvrability. The aircraft is capable of withstanding from −3.6 g to 9 g (10.5 g on Rafale solo display and a maximum of 11 g can be reached in case of emergency [ 69 ] [ 70
The resulting aircraft, designated P.111, was a basic aircraft specifically designed for Delta wing research. [1] In terms of its basic configuration, the P.111 was designed to be the smallest possible airframe that would accommodate both a single Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet engine, a Martin-Baker-built ejection seat and a delta wing.
Shenyang's proposal was based on its cancelled J-13 with a F-16-like strake-wing. Hongdu's proposal was MiG-23/Su-24-like with variable-sweep wing. Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute's (CADI) proposal was a Saab 37 Viggen-like design based on its cancelled J-9. [8] CADI's proposal was selected in February 1984.
