Wing types refer to the various shapes and structures of wings found in birds, insects, and aircraft. These wings are adapted for different functions, such as gliding, flapping, or hovering. Common wing types include elliptical wings, which are short and rounded for maneuverability, and delta wings, which are triangular and provide stability at high speeds. In addition to natural wings, aircraft wings can be classified into types like high-wing and low-wing designs, affecting flight characteristics and stability. Understanding wing types helps in studying flight mechanics and the evolution of flying species, as well as in designing efficient aircraft.
