  2. Delta wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_wing

    British military aircraft such as the Avro Vulcan (a strategic bomber) and Gloster Javelin (an all-weather fighter) were among the first delta-equipped aircraft to enter production. Whereas the Vulcan was a classic tailless design, the Javelin incorporated a tailplane in order to improve low-speed handling and high-speed manoeuvrability, as ...

    The F-106 was the ultimate development of the USAF's 1954 interceptor program of the early 1950s. [4] The initial winner of this competition had been the F-102 Delta Dagger, but early versions of this aircraft had demonstrated extremely poor performance, being limited to flying at subsonic speeds and relatively low altitudes. [5]

  6. Dassault Rafale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Rafale

    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 11g can be reached in case of emergency [69] [70]).

  7. Convair XF-92 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_XF-92

    The vortex became "attached" to the upper surface of the wing, supplying it with air moving at speeds much greater than the aircraft's forward speed. By controlling the flow in this critical area, the performance envelope of the delta could be greatly expanded, which led to the introduction of canards on most delta-wing designs in the 1960s and ...

  8. Avro Vulcan - Wikipedia

    The Avro Vulcan (later Hawker Siddeley Vulcan [1] from July 1963) [2] is a jet-powered, tailless, delta-wing, high-altitude, strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. Aircraft manufacturer A.V. Roe and Company designed the Vulcan in response to Specification B.35/46.
