Delta wing
A delta wing is a wing used on fixed-wing aircraft, mainly supersonic fighter aircraft. Delta wings are triangles. Some aircraft with Delta wings are "tailless" (which means they had no elevators) and others were "tailed." Delta wings make lots of lift and are easy to make, making them a good option for fighter aircraft. Many of the Dassault Aviation Mirages have delta wings (like the Mirage III, Mirage V, Mirage 50, and Mirage 2000).
