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 cruciform tail is an aircraft empennage configuration which, when viewed from the aircraft's front or rear, looks much like a cross. The usual arrangement is to have the horizontal stabilizer intersect the vertical tail somewhere near the middle, and above the top of the fuselage .

The empennage of an Atlas Air Boeing 747-200. The empennage (/ ˌ ɑː m p ɪ ˈ n ɑː ʒ / or / ˈ ɛ m p ɪ n ɪ dʒ /), also known as the tail or tail assembly, is a structure at the rear of an aircraft that provides stability during flight, in a way similar to the feathers on an arrow.
The following are screw drives based on a cruciform (cross) shape. Other names used for these types of drives are cross recessed, cross-head, cross tip, and cross-point; sometimes "plus" (+) as against a simple slot's "minus" (−). A double slotted screw drive is not considered cruciform because the shape is not recessed, and consists only of ...

Of highly unconventional configuration, it was a tail-less, swept-wing design with an engine and propeller mounted at both the front and rear of the aircraft. A large ventral fin gave it an almost cruciform cross-section.
