Cross-brand equivalents

Projected and flat area run 3–8% apart. A marked area is one whose brand does not state which it publishes, so a match inside the area tolerance may be comparing unlike figures.

Wings from other brands within ±5% of area and ±8% of aspect ratio of the Armstrong DWP (Downwind Performance) DWP685, closest first. Same rule on every wing page.
