The most common type of wing is an elliptical wing. The major components are the leading edge, trailing edge, chord and camber. There are two types of chords: longitudinal and transverse. A leading edge is located at the front tip or nose of a wing, while a trailing edge is on the back side near the end of the wing's arm. Chord can be thought as distance from where one part meets to another point along its length in an ellipse.
