2. Vortex lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_lift

   Four basic configurations which have used vortex lift are, in chronological order, the 60-degree delta wing; the ogive delta wing with its sharply-swept leading edge at the root; the moderately-swept wing with a leading-edge extension, which is known as a hybrid wing; and the sharp-edge forebody, or vortex-lift strake. [7]

3. Lift-induced drag - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-induced_drag

   The red vector labeled "L eff" is the actual lift on the wing; it is perpendicular to the effective relative airflow in the vicinity of the wing. The lift generated by the wing has been tilted rearwards through an angle equal to the downwash angle in three-dimensional flow.

4. Ryan XV-5 Vertifan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_XV-5_Vertifan

   The engine power setting determined the lift from the fans, as fan RPM was determined by the exhaust output from the J85 engines and the load on the fan. [2] Roll control was by differential actuation of the wing-fan exit louvers. Aircraft performance was subsonic, with delta wings superficially similar to those on the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk.

5. Horseshoe vortex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_vortex

   A realistic lift distribution causes the shedding of a complex vorticity pattern behind the aircraft. The horseshoe vortex model is a simplified representation of the vortex system present in the flow of air around a wing .

6. Leading-edge extension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_extension

   The effect is the same as a wing fence. [2] It can also be used on straight wings in a drooped leading edge arrangement. [citation needed] Many high-performance aircraft use the dogtooth design, which induces a vortex over the wing to control boundary layer spanwise extension, increasing lift and improving resistance to stall.

8. Three-surface aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-surface_aircraft

   The central wing surface always provides lift and is usually the largest, while the functions of the fore and aft planes may vary between types and may include lift, control and/or stability. In civil aircraft the three surface configuration may be used to give safe stalling characteristics and short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance.
