Wingspan 90-110 mm. Wings mouse-gray, streaked with black and brown. Hind wings strong, pointed. Fore wings paler with 2 zigzag dark lines crossing middle of wing. Body heavy, torpedo-shaped. Head prominent, eyes and palps large, extended tongue at least as long as body. Abdomen above has 5 pairs of yellow spots...

Not to be confused with another member of the same genus (Manduca) the tobacco hornworm moth whose caterpillar also feeds on the foliage of the nightshade family (tobacco and tomato). In southern tobacco-growing states of the U.S.A., the adult of this species, as well as that of the tomato hornworm moth, is often called "tobacco fly". Hence "tobacco fly" as a generic term is imprecise.  3, record 2, English, - tomato%20hornworm%20moth

A wing that is not linked to the fuselage by means of a mast or bracing wire.  3, record 6, English, - cantilever%20wing

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The most common current wing design is the cantilever. A single large beam, called the main spar, runs through the wing, typically nearer the leading edge at about 25 percent of the total chord. In flight, the wings generate lift, and the wing spars are designed to carry this load through the fuselage to the other wing. To resist fore and aft movement, the wing will usually be fitted with a second smaller drag-spar nearer the trailing edge, tied to the main spar with structural elements or a stressed skin. The wing must also resist twisting forces, done either by a monocoque "D" tube structure forming the leading edge, or by the aforementioned linking two spars in some form of box beam or lattice girder structure.  4, record 6, English, - cantilever%20wing

En aéronautique, on appelle une «aile cantilever», un système de voilure développé vers le milieu des années 1910 selon un principe permettant d'éviter les haubans (générateurs de traînée perturbatrice) auxquels la voilure des premiers avions était suspendue. L'un des premiers à avoir mis au point ce principe était Levavasseur sur son avion Antoinette monobloc.  5, record 6, French, - aile%20cantilever

SLAT-A section of the wing leading edge which is free to move fore and aft on tracks. When the section is at a high angle of attack, the local suction at the wing leading edge creates a chordwise force downward which actuates the slat. The slat falls within the contour of the wing leading edge when closed.  2, record 7, English, - slat%20track

Wing sweep, whether fore or aft, postpones and alleviates the effects of shock waves in both transonic and supersonic flight. This is because the airflow component parallel to the local wing sweep(strictly the sweep of the isobars) is unaltered and only the flow across the sweep lines is influenced by section shape. The wing behaves as if it were in slower-moving airstream.  1, record 8, English, - local%20wing%20sweep

La flèche de la voilure, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, retarde et atténue les effets des ondes de choc en vol transsonique et supersonique, car la composante de l'écoulement parallèle à la flèche locale (ou plus exactement à la flèche des isobares) n'est pas altérée et seule, la composante normale aux lignes de flèche est influencée par la forme du profil. En d'autres termes, l'aile se comporte comme si elle se déplaçait dans un flux d'air à vitesse plus faible.  1, record 8, French, - fl%C3%A8che%20locale
