Types of wing based on

aerodynamics

  Aircraft designs are often classified by their wing
configuration. For example the Supermarine Spitfire is a
conventional low wing cantilever monoplane of straight
elliptical planform with moderate aspect ratio and
slight dihedral.

 Many variations have been tried. Sometimes the
distinction between them is blurred, for example
the wings of many modern combat aircraft may
be described either as cropped compound deltas
with (forwards or backwards) swept trailing edge,
or as sharply tapered swept wings with large
leading edge root extensions (or LERX). Some are
therefore duplicated here under more than one
heading.
  Straight wings are great to generate lift at low speeds
and with a low attack angle, but when you increase the
speed, you have two solutions:
 Make your straight wing thinner. Oops. Less space for
fuel, structurally heavier and more difficult to
Straight wings manufacture.

 Or use a swept-back wing, so you can still house the

fuel.

  The delta wing is a wing shaped in the form of a
triangle.
 It is structurally efficient. It can be built stronger, stiffer
and at the same time lighter than a swept wing of
equivalent lifting capability.
Delta wings  At low speeds a delta wing requires a high angle of
attack to maintain lift. It is really unstable at low speeds
because it generates vortex pattern.

  Wing sweep has the effect of delaying the shock waves
and accompanying aerodynamic drag rise caused by
fluid compressibility near the speed of sound,
improving performance. Swept wings are therefore
often used on jet aircraft designed to fly at these
Swept-back speeds.
wings  It was used on early modern jets, now a days its used on
the slower ones,

 Any swept wing tend to be unstable in the stall and at

low speeds

  Typically, a swept wing is more suitable for high
speeds, while an unswept wing is suitable for lower
speeds, allowing the aircraft to carry more fuel and/or
payload, as well as improving field (take-off and
landing) performance. A variable-sweep wing allows a
Variable swept pilot to select the correct wing configuration for the
plane's intended speed. The variable-sweep wing is
wings most useful for those aircraft that are expected to
function at both low and high speed, and for this reason
it has been used primarily in military aircraft.
