The result was a biplane with seemingly mismatched components. Long, thin, sailplane-esque wings with a 15:1 aspect ratio were mounted to a fabric-covered steel tube fuselage.

One concept to reduce an aircraft's fuel consumption is to increase wing aspect ratio, i.e. the ratio of wing span to wing chord. Although slender (i. e. high aspect ratio) wings have low induced drag ...

Have you ever wondered why most modern aircraft feature winglets at the tips of their wings? These aren’t just for looks; ...
