Fixed-wing aircraft, popularly called aeroplanes, airplanes, or just planes, may be built with many wing configurations.
This page provides a breakdown of types, allowing a full description of any aircraft's wing configuration. For example the Supermarine Spitfire wing may be classified as a conventional low wing cantilever monoplane with straight elliptical wings of moderate aspect ratio and slight dihedral.
