Two-liner
A wing whose suspension lines join into only two main rows, A and B.
Also known as
- 2-liner standard term
Terms and slang labels apply to this language. Usage may differ in other languages.
What it means
Fewer line rows mean less drag, which is why two-liners appear mainly among higher-performance wings. The number of rows is not an EN class, and two-liners exist in more than one class. Some designs are hybrids with a third row in the centre section only.
Example in context
My friend moved to a two-liner and spent his first flights getting used to the different risers.
