Yeah, you did. i didn't mean for the one thought to relate to the
other.
Having said that, airliner wings are really complicated. Boeing wings
are a marvel to look at. The 757 wing is simply mindboggling. The
center
section has a supercritical section in order to ammelorate drag
induced
by the shick wave at high mach numbers. I'd say the 787 is going to
carry on that tradition with further refinements in that direction.

Cool, did dumley teach you that one?
Nope, Boeing did.
