[WWI] Added:Nieuport 28 and more!

[Douglas Anderson]

Cranked wing and inverse gull-wing(stuka and corsair), gull-winged (Beriev Be 12), anhedral, negative-dihedral. Honestly I don't really think it matters what terms we use as long as the intention is clear. Anhedral might be the correct term, but negative dihedral is still perfectly clear.

I have seen the term "anhedral" used before. The example that comes to
mind refers to the nose wings on Formula 1 cars. I would think that this
could also be applied to the Corsair and/or Stuka.
Maybe it's anhedral if you want it... and negative dihedral if you don't?

Andy,

I am going by what I have read on aerodynamics. They all state that the
opposite of dihedral is anhedral.

T.O.M.
