Why do big commercial airplanes have wings on the bottom and big (US) military airplanes have their wings on top?
In: Engineering
Search Anhedral (wing tips lower than wing to body position) and Dihedral (wing tips higher than wing to body position) .. Anhedral is used as a principle for Military aircraft for increased manoeuvrability due to reduced stability(specifically ‘roll stability ). (Very simple description. When you read further into it you will come across terms like Dihedral effect,spiral mode,etc.)
