The closest current wings from other brands — every one within ±5% of area and ±8% of aspect ratio, ranked closest first. The closest, the Armstrong S1 (Step 1) 1550, is already drawn over it. Select a numbered wing to draw it — up to three at a time.
The Starter Front Wing runs 3 sizes, 1,600–2,000 cm², and holds its proportions across the range: every size publishes an aspect ratio within 5% of the others.
Its 940 mm span is 19% narrower than typical for the area — the median across the 77 current wings within 10% of its size is 1,160 mm.
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.
