The flexible wing chosen for it was a delta wing; in use, it billowed out into a double-cone profile which gave it aerodynamic stability. Although tested but ultimately never used for spacecraft recovery, this design soon became popular for hang gliders and ultra-light aircraft and has become known as the Rogallo wing.
Airforce Delta (エアフォース デルタ), known as Deadly Skies in Europe, is a series of combat flight simulation games developed and published by Konami. The series began in 1999 with Airforce Delta for Dreamcast, with its last main series game being the 2004 Airforce Delta Strike. The series has been compared to Ace Combat in its gameplay.
Nose, wing and ventral strakes Vortices over the wing strakes of an F/A-18E Super Hornet. In aviation, a strake is an aerodynamic surface generally mounted on the fuselage of an aircraft to improve the flight characteristics either by controlling the airflow (acting as large vortex generators) or by a simple stabilising effect.
The game would release in Australia in 2001, Europe in 2002, and Japan in 2004. The Dreamcast game Propeller Arena was completed and due to be released on September 19, 2001, but was cancelled and never officially released. The video game was about dogfighting in planes and one level takes place around a city of skyscrapers.
The first supersonic delta to receive a drooped nose was the Fairey Delta 2, a British experimental high-speed aircraft. Nicknamed "Droop Snoot", [ 1 ] the Delta 2 featured a relatively long tapered nose, which smoothly flowed into its cylindrical cross-section fuselage , to generate a high level of aerodynamic efficiency.

Avro were aware that Alexander Lippisch had designed a delta-wing fighter and considered the same delta configuration would be suitable for their bomber. [9] The team estimated that an otherwise conventional aircraft, with a swept wing of 45°, would have doubled the weight requirement.
The delta wing of the P.111 was relatively thin in comparison to contemporary wings and was swept at an angle of 45°. [4] When not fitted with tip extensions, this wing was strongly cropped at about 75 percent of the pure delta shape, while the installation of the larger extensions resulted in an almost unbroken pure delta shape.
