Claim 0:
1. An aircraft wing with tiplet comprising:
a. an inner section defined by:
i. an inner section straight leading edge with a leading edge sweepback angle less than 45°;
ii. an inner section straight trailing edge, wherein an inner section taper angle set between the inner section straight trailing edge and the inner section straight leading edge is between 30° and 60°;
iii. an inner section root chord;
iv. an inner section tip chord, wherein a taper ratio between the inner section tip chord and the inner section root chord is less than 0.25;
v. an inner section chord plane determined by the inner section straight leading edge and the inner section straight trailing edge;
vi. an inner section lift area bound by the inner section straight leading edge, the inner section straight trailing edge, the inner section root chord, and the inner section tip chord;
vii. an inner section span extending from the inner section root chord to the inner section tip chord;
viii. inner section cross sections in flight direction shaped as airfoils with thickness-to-chord ratio less than 6%, wherein the air pressure centers of the inner section cross sections are in front of 30% of the airfoils' chord lengths in cruise;

b. a tiplet section joined to the outboard end of said inner section defined by:
i. a tiplet section straight leading edge, wherein the tiplet section straight leading edge is a tangential extension of the inner section straight leading edge, thus forming an aircraft wing with tiplet straight leading edge;
ii. a tiplet section straight trailing edge, wherein the tiplet section straight trailing edge is joined to the inner section straight trailing edge at an intersect point, an intersect angle between the inner section straight trailing edge and the tiplet section straight trailing edge at the intersect point is between 120° and 180°;
iii. a tiplet section taper angle between the tiplet section straight leading edge and the tiplet section straight trailing edge is between 7° and 35°;
iv. a tiplet section root chord, wherein the tiplet section root chord is joined to the inner section tip chord, the tiplet section root chord and the inner section tip chord are having identical length and position, the airfoil of the inner section tip chord and the airfoil of the tiplet section root chord are identical;
v. a tiplet section tip chord;
vi. a taper ratio between the tiplet section tip chord and the tiplet section root chord is less than 0.1;
vii. a tiplet section chord plane determined by the tiplet section straight leading edge and the tiplet section straight trailing edge, wherein the tiplet section chord plane is identical to the inner section chord plane;
viii. a tiplet section lift area, wherein the tiplet section lift area lies in the tiplet section chord plane, the tiplet section lift area is bound by the tiplet section straight leading edge, the tiplet section straight trailing edge, the tiplet section root chord, and the tiplet section tip chord, the tiplet section lift area is less than 12% of the inner section lift area;
ix. a tiplet section span extending from the tiplet section root chord to the tiplet section tip chord, wherein the tiplet section span is between 30% and 80% of the inner section span;
x. tiplet section cross sections in flight direction shaped as airfoils with thickness-to-chord ratio less than 6%, wherein the air pressure centers of the tiplet section cross sections are in front of 30% of the airfoils' chord lengths in cruise;
wherein the inner section and the tiplet section are having pivotal trailing edge flight control surfaces.
