• Gull wing → Gull wing (aeronautics)
• Gull-wing → Gull wing

– Insufficient disambiguation with the dabpage (Gull-wing, also Gullwing.) Unlikely to be the primary topic. Move dabpage to its simplest name. 162 etc. (talk) 16:49, 28 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BD2412 T 16:31, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

• Move both per OP. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
• Weak support some of the other uses get more views[] but may not commonly be called just "Gull wing". Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:17, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
• Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:01, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose The aircraft wing is the primary topic here. I would however support Gull-wing being turned into a primary redirect and the DABpage being removed. It can direct people to gulls and the door type from a hatnote per WP:TWOOTHER. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose as the aeronautical use is the primary topic. GraemeLeggett (talk) 08:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting for clearer consensus. BD2412 T 16:31, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

• Alternative move the airplane topic to gull-wing aerofoil (c.f. gull-wing door) and move the disambiguation page to gullwing (with direct values 300SL nickname and FFX-series fictional group) -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 05:00, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Stuka’s defining feature?

I very much disagree that the most defining feature of the Stuka is its inverted gull wing. The most distinctive feature is most certainly the Jericho trumpets.

I think that either the Stuka and its information should be replaced with something more like the Vought F4U Corsair, or it should just be removed entirely. Wellifailed (talk) 16:57, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

This is attributed to Manfred Griehl in the article. Feel free to cite other authors who offer a different viewpoint.

I've removed the mention from the lead though, it doesn't need to be in the article twice. 162 etc. (talk) 19:08, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
