What are the engineering advantages of this kind of wing?


from the article:

1) it increases the angle at which army planes can attack (now its only 13%, but will be twice more)

2) it stands up to 2 times stronger side wind

3) reduces fuel spending

4) easier to make as the normal wings have a lot of mechanicks in them

5) less space needed to take off, also can take off on uneven surfaces


No wing-tip vortices.


C'mon RTFA for once. Gah.
