The forward margin of the hind wing bears a number of hooked bristles, or " hamuli ", which lock onto the fore wing, keeping them held together.

As the wing moves forward through the air, the boundary layer at first flows smoothly over the streamlined shape of the airfoil.

These black areas on the upper surfaces of the shuttle's forward wing were added because, at first, shuttle designers did not know how reentry heating would affect the craft's upper wing surfaces.

Designers at Armstrong-Whitworth took the concept a step further in their proposed M-Wing, in which the wing was first swept forward and then to the rear.

Rotary wing aircraft and thrust vectoring V / STOL aircraft use engine thrust to support the weight of the aircraft, and vector sum of this thrust fore and aft to control forward speed.

Taking a contested mark on the wing, Carey played on, having three bounces and shrugging off a tackle as he ran inside the forward 50.

A fixed wing aircraft is an aircraft capable of flight using wings that generate lift due to the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings.

The wing deflects air downward as the plane moves forward, generating lifting force to support it in flight.

A variant of the swept wing is the forward swept wing in which the wings are angled forwards.

On an aircraft so equipped, the wing is designed to rotate on center pivot, so that one tip is swept forward while the opposite tip is swept aft.

Canard is an airframe configuration in which the forward surface is smaller than the rearward, the former being known as the " canard ", while the latter is the main wing.

Moving one wing forward relative to the other can help increase lift and reduce drag, though it may distort the box girder effect of the wing and reduce the structural benefits of the biplane layout.

The most disconcerting problem was longitudinal instability ( divergence ), because as the angle of attack of a wing increased, the center of pressure moved forward and made the angle increase more.

When displaced, this vector essentially " pulls " the trailing wing forward to re-align the aircraft along its flight path.

In some flying wing designs, any stabilizing fins and associated control rudders would be too far forward to have much effect, thus alternative means for yaw control are sometimes provided.
