WHAT DOES PLANFORM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

planform

Planform

In aviation, a planform is the shape and layout of a fixed-wing aircraft's fuselage and wing. Of all the myriad planforms used, they can typically be grouped into those used for low-speed flight, found on general aviation aircraft, and those used for high-speed flight, found on many military aircraft and airliners. The planform may also refer to the projected area of the wing. From a top view perspective, one can extend the lines from the leading and trailing edges on the left and right side of the fuselage until they meet at the centerline of the aircraft. The area of the wing along with this projected area is commonly referred to as the planform area,. It is used as a non-dimensionalization parameter.
