In a wing with a main wing part (1) and a drag-reducing wing grid arranged
at a distal end of the main wing part, a grid includes at least two
winglets (2) staggered in parallel and with an overlap (c/t) smaller than
one. A zero air flow direction of the winglets (2) is, on average, matched
to the zero air flow direction of the main wing part (1) and the ratio of
the length of the chord (c.sub.M) of the main wing part (1) to the chord
length (c.sub.W) of the wing grid is essentially the same as the
correction factor Kappa according to Betz applicable for the overlap of
the winglets. For this wing, the lift of the main wing part (1) and the
wing grid is not only equal in the design point, but also the lift
gradients of the main wing part (1) and of the wing grid are coincident.
This means that the drag-reducing effect of the wing grid is maintained
independent of the momentary angle of attack of the wing, without the wing
grid having to be adjusted accordingly.
