Flat Wings Stability Description
Negative aspect of a Dihedral Wing
Dihedral angle range that causes back-and-forth, but will not roll. This wing shape has low efficiency
This wing type turns slowly (like a bus) and has an increased amount of drag
This wing type has a low amount of stability. It turns the second most quickly.
Force that must be overcome to fly upwards
This wing type that self corrects roll & yaw by having more lift with lower wing to bring the lower wing level with the upper wing.
Generate most of the lift on a glider
This wing type is the least stable of the wing designs. It does turn the fastest. Needs an onboard computer to fly.
Dihedral angle range that that stops roll from occurring. High stability
Only item on a flat winged glider that will stop roll & yaw
