Lowwing
Low-wing refers to aircraft whose wings are attached to the lower portion of the fuselage, typically near the bottom. This configuration contrasts with high-wing designs, where the wing is mounted on the top of the fuselage, and mid-wing designs where the wing passes through the middle. Low-wing layouts are common among many modern general aviation airplanes, business jets, and military fighters.
Most low-wing aircraft are cantilever, meaning the wing is attached without external bracing. Some light or
Advantages of low-wing configurations include favorable aerodynamics from a flush wing-fuselage junction and the potential for
Disadvantages include potential limitations in downward visibility and field operation on rough terrain for some models,
Historically, low-wing aircraft gained popularity in the mid-20th century with the rise of all-metal cantilever designs.
