The non-planar wing tip is often swept back like a raked wingtip and may also be combined with a winglet. A winglet is also a special case of a non-planar wingtip. [citation needed] Aircraft designers employed mostly planar wing designs with simple dihedral after World War II, prior to the introduction of winglets.
Aimer explained: “In a commercial aircraft you must have certain types of lights to operate between dawn and dusk. One is position lights – a green and red light on each wing tip and a tail light.
Fire from the eight machine guns of a Hawker Hurricane is shown converging to a point, then diverging. (Drawing not to scale.) In aerial gunnery, gun harmonisation, convergence pattern, convergence zone, convergence point or bore-sight point refers to the aiming of fixed guns or cannon carried in the wings of a fighter aircraft.

The wing is designed so that the angle of incidence is greater at the wing roots and decreases across the span, becoming lowest at the wing tip. This is usually to ensure that at stall speed the wing root stalls before the wing tips , providing the aircraft with continued aileron control and some resistance to spinning .
Just as with real-life assassination attempts, to really understand the power of 'The West Wing's' two-part Season 2 premiere, 'In the Shadow of Two Gunmen,' requires a look back at the actions ...
EB-29A docked wingtip-to-wingtip with two EF-84Ds in Project Tip-Tow Close-up of the B-29 with EF-84D-1-RE 48-641 on wingtip hookup. The MX-1016 program (code named "Tip Tow") sought to extend the range of jets to give fighter protection to piston-engined bombers with the provision for in-flight attachment/detachment of the fighter to the bomber via wingtip connections.
