The HS has run 6 sizes, 626–1,850 cm², including discontinued sizes, and changes proportion as it grows: aspect ratio runs 4.8 at one end of the range to 5.8 at the other, so its sizes differ in shape as well as in area.
Its 938 mm span is 17% narrower than typical for the area — the median across the 76 current wings within 10% of its size is 1,130 mm.
Closest wings from other brands
Projected and flat area run 3–8% apart. A marked area is one whose brand does not state which it publishes, so a comparison inside the area tolerance may be comparing unlike figures.
