crescent wing

The Victor was known for its crescent wing.

The crescent wing was built by Anthony Hunt Associates and opened in 1991.

The following year, architect Paul Williams added the Crescent Wing.

The "Crescent Wing," as it became known, features mature plantings on the balconies.

At low altitude, the Victor typically flew in a smooth and comfortable manner, in part due to its narrowness and flexibility of the crescent wing.

The crescent wing planform was invented by the German aerodynamicist Dipl.-Ing.

Intended to be fitted with an experimental crescent wing with sweep back lessening towards the tips, evolved by Dipl.-Ing.

The profile and shaping of the crescent wing was subject to considerable fine-tuning and alterations throughout the early development stages, particularly to counter unfavourable pitching behavior in flight.

The crescent wing is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration in which a swept wing has greater sweep on the inboard section, giving each wing a crescent shape.

The HP.80's crescent wing was tested on a -scale glider, the HP.87, and a heavily modified Supermarine Attacker, which was given the Handley Page HP.88 designation.

Years later, the architectural style merged with the sleek fantasies of Paul Revere Williams, who designed its Crescent Wing in 1949 and revamped the Polo Lounge, the coffee shop and lobby areas.

The Handley Page Victor had a crescent wing with substantial sweep-back near the wing root where the wing was thickest, and progressively reducing sweep along the span as the wing thickness reduced towards the tip.

The Handley Page HP.88 was a British research aircraft, built in the early 1950s for Handley Page, to test the aerodynamics of the Victor crescent wing design, and was intended to be a scaled-down version of that aircraft.
