Spitfire and Gull-Wing?
Dear all,
I’m new here and have already a more technical question. In a German speaking forum was a heated discussion about the form of the Supermarine Spitfire wing. Some users mentioned that the Spit has a gull wing.
In my reference books about this plane I cannot find any specific information that would back-up a gull-wing configuration. In my opinion, typical gull-wing planes are Junker Ju-87 or F4U Corsair and the Spitfire wing does not looks like the wing of a Corsair nor contains the typical bend along the span. However, I can be wrong.
It would be nice if one of the Spit Cracks can offer his/her insight into this topic.
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
Hansjurg Kohler
