[edit] Gallery

Does anyone else think the oblique views of the airliners added to the article do little to improve understanding of the main subject (i.e. wing planform) and are therefore cruft? Dhaluza 15:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

KEEP I added those pics, not "randomly" as you said in your Edit Comment but after thought. I agree the wings are shown obliquely but I'm sure our readers are capable of recognising that. It's difficult to see how planform views "do little to improve understanding of the main subject". Until I added the pics there were NO airliner planforms in the article, now there is. If the pics were crowding the article then a gallery is the proper place for them. I (obviously) vote that they stay - Adrian Pingstone 16:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Now that I have a near-planform view (of a bmi A319) I have removed the two obliques - Adrian Pingstone 15:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
