Square-tipped wings are subject to important spanwise shifts of center of pressure with speed and lift coefficient and should prove structurally uneconomical on airplanes designed for constant load factor throughout specified speed range; however, when featured on airplane designed to operate close to its aerodynamic limits, variations in spanwise distribution can be utilized to obtain localized safe failure at wing tip in case of accidental overload.
