Photographs of various delta wing craft; British aircraft designers favor low wing loadings; low wing loading means large wing area, which means high drag; only way to reduce wing drag is to make thinner wing; sweepback is one way to do job; delta wing can be made structurally thick, and therefore still aerodynamically thin; delta can be thought of as sweptwing plan with trailing edge portion filled in.
