Short Thin Wings
General aviation, or private pilot, aircraft are built with short stubby simple wings. These planes are designed to withstand light loading and a moderate to heavy amount of air turbulance, which is more than most of these airplanes' passengers can stomach. Normal wing configurations consist of ailerons, flaps, and the main wing. Simple to build and easy on the wallet, these wings are perfect for personal, and recreational aircraft.
