Inverted gull wing aircraft have a wing configuration in which the inboard wing section (i.e. adjoining the fuselage) is set at an anhedral angle, i.e. the outer end is lower than the wing root, while the outboard section is set at a dihedral angle with the outer end (usually the wingtip) higher than the inner end.
The gull wing, also known as Polish wing or Puławski wing, is an aircraft wing configuration with a prominent bend in the wing inner section towards the wing root. Its name is derived from the seabirds which it resembles and from the Polish aircraft designer Zygmunt Puławski who started using this design in his planes.
Aircraft with a gull wing configuration, i.e. with the inboard section at a dihedral (upward) angle relative to the fuselage and the outboard section at an anhedral angle. Seen from the front, the gull wing resembles an elongated 'M'-shape. Note: Aircraft with an inverted gull wing configuration should be placed in the appropriate category.
The Blohm & Voss Ha 139 was a four-engined all-metal inverted gull wing floatplane designed and built by the German aircraft manufacturer Blohm & Voss.At the time of the first aircraft's completion, it was one of the largest float-equipped seaplanes to have been built.
The B-54 / B-88 shared a common airframe. It was a large, single-propeller conventional monoplane with a mid-mounted, inverted-gull wing and a mid-mounted horizontal tailplane with considerable dihedral. Unlike the Fairey Gannet, it had a simple wing folding mechanism that split once at the angle of the gull-wing.
The projected aircraft kept some of the features of the earlier Ju 87, such as the inverted gull wing and two man crew. It would have added retractable landing gear, the nose of the aircraft would have been elongated for a better view for the pilot, as well as improved armour and armament .
The Klemm Kl 35 is a German sporting and training aeroplane developed as a successor to the Kl 25.A product of Klemm Leichtflugzeugbau Gmbh it shared the same single-engine, cantilever low-wing configuration as the earlier machine, the major difference being the introduction of an inverted gull wing.
By early 1939 H.G. Möller Flugzeugbau had tested a small, single seat, cantilever, inverted gull wing sports aircraft of striking aerodynamic cleanliness. Though its Kroeber M4 flat twin engine produced only 13 kW (18 hp), the Stomo-3 had a maximum speed of 152 km/h (94 mph; 82 kn). [1]
