Huh? edit
"Its key features were a very narrow (and thus hard to hit) cross section as result of being a glider..." Why does the fact that its a glider make a difference to the cross-section? Can somebody with a better understanding of aerodynamics clarify this part, please? WikiReaderer 20:08, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
The cross section was narrow because there was no engine. Compare the cross section of the Bv 40 with that of the Bf 109 or Fw 190. 2603:800C:3944:BC00:1D87:FB75:E69E:9E61 (talk) 03:26, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
