In this chapter, a number of real wings are illustrated, starting with very simple theory and showing how they are built up and the various items commonly included in wing design such as control surfaces, attachment mechanisms, wing tips, and retractable undercarriages. We outline our approach to using lightweight foam reinforced with carbon fiber spars as a cost‐effective method for making high‐quality wings
