Huh?

[edit]

"Its key features were a very narrow (and thus hard to hit) cross section as result of being a glider..." Why does the fact that its a glider make a difference to the cross-section? Can somebody with a better understanding of aerodynamics clarify this part, please? WikiReaderer 20:08, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The cross section was narrow because there was no engine. Compare the cross section of the Bv 40 with that of the Bf 109 or Fw 190. 2603:800C:3944:BC00:1D87:FB75:E69E:9E61 (talk) 03:26, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
