Reconnaissance planes, due to the increasing air defense capabilities, had to climb higher and higher, and this required an increasing wing area. On subsonic gliders and jet planes, this problem was solved by lengthening the wing, but the elongation could not continue indefinitely due to limitations in structural strength. Therefore, an unusual solution was found...
