The Armstrong HS (High Speed) HS1850’s planform, traced from a retailer’s photograph rather than from Armstrong’s own.
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 940 mm span is 27% narrower than typical for the area — the median across the 62 current wings within 10% of its size is 1,295 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.
