Talk:Supercritical wing

Why is it called "supercritical"? What makes it different from other airfoil designs? —CConrad 20:08, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

The best way to answer this question is to point you to the supercritical airfoil article. The wing derives it's name from the incorporation of this airfoil shape which makes it different from other wings using more traditional airfoil shapes. --Demarchist 22:46, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
