glossary

General Discussion

that’s pretty much the intent. Comments welcome, including suggested new entries, (with or without definitions), pictures to accompany entries, corrections where needed, etc. This should be a growing thing. Maybe someday with hyperlinks to cross-references, etc.

Note the lack of a copyright mark. This is a communal thing. However, any use of this work for commercial purposes is frowned upon, and is definitely UNCOOL.

I agree a complete merge would not be needed like the examples you gave, but there are some other relevant terms I did not find in your list, for example vee, forward/reverse vee.

Terms for standard tails shapes and standard rails might be nice to add.

For these pictures/sketches would be great to clarify the differences.

thanks again for the great effort
