ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a pair of opposing wings for providing aircraft directional stability of a delta-shaped aircraft having a longitudinal axis. Each wing is provided with a substantially straight swept-back leading edge. Each wing is further provided with a lower surface which extends aft from the leading edge. A lower airflow channeling portion is formed into the lower surface. The lower airflow channeling portion is generally elongate and concave and is disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft for channeling airflow substantially parallel thereto.
