A closed wing is a wing that effectively has two main planes that merge at their ends so that there are no conventional wing tips.Closed wing designs include the annular wing (commonly known as the cylindrical or ring wing), the joined wing, the box wing, and spiroid tip devices.
A tandem wing design has two wings, one behind the other: see Tailplanes and foreplanes below. Some early types had tandem stacks of multiple planes, such as the nine-wing Caproni Ca.60 flying boat with three triplane stacks in tandem. A cruciform wing is a set of four individual wings arranged in the shape of a cross. The cross may take either ...

A tandem (or three-surface) configuration whose wingtips are joined is a Closed wing. Ben Brown SC c. 1932, experimental joined wing, 1 built [63] Ligeti Stratos 1985 1 seat homebuilt, 2 built [64] Airkraft Sunny 1989 2 seater, 250 built
A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines and may be classified according to engine/propeller location and drive as well as the lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft), Some aircraft have a Push-pull configuration with both tractor and pusher engines.
Larger blended-wing designs like JetZero's also have to consider evacuations, which could take longer with fewer exit rows. Blended-wing planes have already been flying for years in the military.
Aerodynamically, the Stratos is a very clean design. The most notable feature is its closed wing configuration, with the sweptback foreplane and the high-mounted mainplane being connected at their wingtips by vertical fins. [3] The pilot sits in a recumbent position in a streamlined nacelle.
Aircraft wing configurations are one of the major aspects of an aircraft's design and are a primary feature in aircraft recognition. Subcategories This category has the following 16 subcategories, out of 16 total.
