Unreferenced date November 2006 A wing chair also, wing back chair or wing back is an easy chair or club chair with wings mounted to the back of the chair typically but not always stretching down to the arm rest. The purpose of which was to enclose the head or torso areas of the body in order to provide comfortable protection from drafts, and to trap the heat from a fireplace in the area where the person would be sitting. Hence, in historic times these are often used near a fireplace. Currently most examples of wing chairs are fully upholstered with exposed wood legs, but, many of the oldest wing chair examples have an exposed frame with padded cushions at the seat, arm rests, back and sometimes wings. Though there are many types of wing chairs there are two standard wing styles the flat wing and the scroll wing. There are also bat wings and butterfly wings just to name a few. The length, depth, vertical position and shape of the wings may vary from chair to chair. Some have applied the term ear chair to wing chairs but that is not correct. Although some wing chairs may have ears at the top of the wings where the wing ties into the back, ears as typically known in furniture design and antique designations are elements rarely found on a wing chair.

Weeping Wing is a chemical aircraft ice protection system wherein a glycol based chemical is released onto the wing surface using small orifices on the leading edge of the wing . This system provides both anti icing ice formation prevention and deicing removal of ice which has already formed . Components of a Weeping Wing System Fluid reservoir Fluid pump Fluid Ducting Fluid Calibrated orifices Activation Circuit Operation Once the system is activated using a switch in the cockpit. This turns on the fluid pump, which pumps fluid out of the reservoir, through the ducting, and out onto the calibrated orifices on the wing leading edge. As the fluid flows along the airstream both on the top and bottom surfaces of the wing , it leaves a thin coat of fluid which protects the surface from icing. The excess fluid then leaves the wing surface sliding out behind the wing s trailing edge.

Wing twist is an aerodynamic feature added to aircraft wing s to adjust lift distribution along the wing. Often, the purpose of lift redistribution is to ensure that the wing tip is the last part of the wing surface to Stall flight stall , for example when executing a flight dynamics roll or steep climb it involves twisting the wingtip a small amount downwards in relation to the rest of the wing. This ensures that the effective angle of attack is always lower at the wingtip than at the root, meaning the root will stall before the tip. This is desirable because the aircraft s flight control surfaces are often located at the wingtip, and the variable stall characteristics of a twisted wing alert the pilot to the advancing stall while still allowing the control surfaces to remain effective, meaning the pilot can usually prevent the aircraft from stalling fully before control is completely lost. Twist that decreases the local chord s incidence from root to tip is sometimes referred to as Washout aviation washout . Twist that increases the local incidence from root to tip is less common and is called Washout aviation wash in . The X 29 had strong wash in to compensate for the additional root first stalling promoted by the forward sweep. Wing twist can also, rarely, refer to the deflection of the wing when it is made of insufficiently stiff materials actuation of the Flap aircraft flaps can, instead of deflecting air as intended, cause the wing itself to be deflected and is related ... high strength alloy s and carbon fiber composites .

Forming part of the half back line, the wing half would occupy the flanks of the pitch in a Defensive Midfield position, in a position either known as left half or right half . In early 2 3 5 formations the wing halves would flank the centre half on both sides, although after the 1925 offside law change, many managers withdrew the centre half into defence, leaving the two wing halves on their own in midfield, supporting the more attacking inside forward s, in a formation known as the WM . With the advent of flat back fours and the 4 4 2 and 4 3 3 formations, the wing half position was abandoned and wing halves were pushed forward and into the middle to become central midfielders or became a second central defender, for example Bobby Moore .
