Default RE: Taking the dihedral out

And to think I thought I knew a little about aerodynamics. I have to agree with you Ed, all the high wing Navy jets I've been around had a pronounced anhedral. The ones with the most that I've actually seen were the A-6E Corsair II and the F-8 Crusader, though the A-3 and A-6E/EA-6B(the one I worked on) also have an obvious droop going out to the wingtips. The one plane that DIDN'T was the F-14 Tomcat, but it's technically a midwing design
