context_page_description: The Davis wing is an aircraft wing design that was used for some time on a variety of World War II aircraft, most notably a number of designs from Consolidated Aircraft, including the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. With a lower drag coefficient than most contemporary designs, it allowed high speeds. It also allowed significant lift at low angles of attack. Its use ended almost immediately following World War Two.
