Sans sous-estimer les immenses possibilités offertes par l'aile « delta » et, principalement, les avantages qu'offre sa structure très simple, en ce qui concerne sa fabrication et sa fixation sur les cellules, il semble que la technique française s'oriente vers l'aile en « queue d'hirondelle ». Aile en flèche, certes, mais moins géométriquement triangulée que l'aile «delta». D'autre part, il semble essentiel aux techniciens français de conserver l'empennage arrière. L'avion à aile en queue d'hirondelle ne sera donc pas un avion sans queue comme certains avions anglais actuels. 3, record 1, French, - aile%20en%20queue%20d%27hirondelle
