A spiroid wing tip so as to minimize the induced drag and/or to alleviate noise effects, comprising an originating section and a terminating section of an enclosed loop forming a wing tip attachment end designed for attachment to an end of a wing such that a leading edge and a trailing edge of the wing tip attachment end are continuous extensions of a leading edge and a trailing edge of the wing, respectively, and an intermediate section between the originating section and terminating section, the intermediate section traversing a chord wise plane of the wing tip attachment end, the intermediate section swept rearward with respect to the wing trailing edge.

    L'invention concerne un bout d'aile en spiroïde comprenant un ensemble segmentaire continu ayant un profil frontal en boucle fermée comprenant un segment presque vertical inférieur, un segment horizontal, un segment vertical, un second segment supérieur horizontal et un second presque vertical. En conséquence, selon certains modes de réalisation de l'invention, le profil en spiroïde est abaissé par rapport au plan de la corde de voilure, si bien qu'une partie du bout d'aile en spiroïde s'étend en dessous du plan de la corde de voilure.
