that led to equal upward loadings on the horizontal panels of the box. But the optimum lift distribution is not unique. A constant inward loading (corresponding to a particular constant circulation) can be added to a classical loading like that shown by Durand to obtain a loading like those in the quasi-closed cases below. The two methods of analysis give different-looking versions of the optimum loading that are not fundamentally different. Except for small differences due to the numerical method used for the quasi-closed cases, the two kinds of loading are in principle just shifted versions of each other.

Each of the first three rows in the illustration shows a different C-wing configuration as it is taken through a sequence of theoretical induced-drag calculations in which the wingtips are brought closer together, culminating in the limiting case on the right, where the gap has been taken to zero and

The lift distributions shown here for the quasi-closed cases look different from those typically shown for box wings in the classical literature (see Durand, figure 81, for example). The classical solution in Durand was obtained by a conformal-mapping analysis that happened to be formulated in a way

Note that all of the C-wing configurations have ε greater than 1 and that there is little difference (no difference to the two decimal places shown in two of the cases) between a configuration with a substantial gap (the second entry in each row) and the corresponding closed configuration (the third

The C-wing is a theoretical configuration in which much of the upper centre section of a box wing is removed, creating a wing that folds up and over at the tips but does not rejoin in the centre. A C-wing can achieve very nearly the same induced-drag performance as a corresponding box wing, as shown

For any lifting system (or portion of a lifting system) that forms a closed loop as viewed in the freestream flow direction, the optimum lift (or circulation) distribution that yields the minimum induced drag for a given total vertical lift is not unique, but is defined only to within a constant on

The parameter ε is the optimal aerodynamic efficiency ratio and represents the ratio between the aerodynamic efficiency of a given non-planar wing and the corresponding efficiency of a reference classical cantilevered wing with the same wing span and total lift. Both efficiencies are evaluated for

IDINTOS (IDrovolante INnovativo TOScano) is a research project, co-funded by the regional government of Tuscany (Italy) in 2011 in order to design and manufacture an amphibious ultralight PrandtlPlane. The research project has been carried out by a consortium of Tuscan public and private partners,

suggested that a box wing, under certain conditions, might provide the minimum induced drag for a given lift and wingspan. In his design, two offset horizontal wings have vertical wings connecting their tips and shaped to provide a linear distribution of side forces. The configuration is said to

Closed wings remain mostly confined to the realms of studies and conceptual designs, as the engineering challenges of developing a strong, self-supporting closed wing for use in the large airliners which would benefit most from increases in efficiency have yet to be overcome.

Lockheed Martin proposed a box wing design along with other advanced technologies. 133:
The upshot is that although closed systems can produce large induced-drag reductions relative to a conventional planar wing, there is no significant aerodynamic advantage that uniquely accrues to their being closed rather than open.
