Just about anything that works for aft-swept wings can be applied to forward swept wings, but the spanwise distribution of flow and turbulence is reversed. Thus, where the aft-swept wing induces pitch-up as the tips stall at high angles of attack, the tips of the forward-swept wing retain good airflow and the root tends to become turbulent. 4, record 2, English, - forward%20swept%20wing

Les avantages de l'aile en flèche inverse sont multiples. En effet cette aile permet à l'appareil d’être très agile et permet aussi des vitesses de décollage et d’atterrissage très faible, car la vitesse de décrochage de l'avion est très faible. Mais cette aile offre aussi une traînée plus faible qu'une aile classique, et ainsi permet à l'appareil d’avoir un réacteur moins puissant(donc consommant moins de carburant) et donc être plus petit, pour avoir les mêmes performances que celles d’un appareil doté d’une voilure classique. 8, record 2, French, - aile%20en%20fl%C3%A8che%20n%C3%A9gative

The Boeing Company and Aviation Partners, Inc., of Seattle, Wash., are forming Aviation Partners Boeing, a new joint venture that offers blended winglet technology for in-service Boeing commercial aircraft.

Winglets were common on business and commercial jets before Aviation Partners arrived on the scene. But those traditional winglets, found on all Airbus models and the Boeing 747-400, rise at a sharp angle from the wing. ... The winglets weigh about 120 pounds each. They are made of high-tech carbon graphite, an advanced aluminum alloy and titanium. The winglet is eight feet long and tapers from its four-foot wide base to a width of two feet at the tip. Unlike traditional winglets typically fitted at abrupt angles to the wing, this new advanced "blended" design gently curves out and up from the wing tip, reducing aerodynamic drag and boosting performance. 3, record 6, English, - blended%20winglet

Les «winglets» ou ailettes sont des extensions, flèche en haut, qui améliorent les performances aérodynamiques de l'avion. [...] La réduction de traînée ainsi induite se traduit par une augmentation des performances de vol en croisière, une réduction de carburant, une capacité de charge utile accrue, ou l'accès à des itinéraires aériens jusque-là non autorisés. [...] Cette ailette présente une forme incurvée sur 360° afin de reboucler sur l'aile. Le produit n’ apparaîtra pas sur les avions avant trois ans.

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 14, 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 14, French, - fl%C3%A8che%20locale
