What is the best wing design for a plane?
Tapered: wing narrows towards the tip. Structurally and aerodynamically more efficient than a constant chord wing, and easier to make than the elliptical type. Trapezoidal: a tapered wing with straight leading and trailing edges: may be unswept or swept. An elliptical planform is the most efficient aerodynamic shape for an untwisted wing, leading to the lowest amount of induced drag.The rectangular wing generated the most lift, followed by the elliptical, delta, swept and round, respectively. The data was significant with a p-value of less than 0.
