FSJW16

The concept of a Forward Swept Joined Wing proposed in the category Efficiency unites the following features:

  • non-planar wing system (low induced drag)
  • Strunard (Strut + Canard); supports the main wing strucutrally; acts as lifting surface; is loaded by tensile stresses
  • no vertical stabilizer (reduces weight and friction drag)
  • short and thereby light landing gear due to high-mounted engines
  • highly efficient flight control system
