Figure 3.

Mean chord pitch and peak camber are inversely related. (a) Near the wing root, wing camber is greatest and chord pitch is least (upper left quadrant). Wing camber remains high over a large portion of the wing, but as peak camber decreases, the pitch angle of each section increases. Eleven markers annotate 10% progressions along the wing length, from wing root (square on the left) to wingtip (triangle on the right). (b,c) Spanwise wing position plotted against chord pitch (b) and peak camber (c). Transparent colour patches encompass the standard error of the mean and are of similar thickness to the dashed mean line. Data reported for left and right wings combined.
