The Spitfire, a renowned WWII fighter plane involved in the Battle of Britain, is distinguished by its elegant elliptical wings. This study focuses on the Spitfire's wing shape and is particularly useful for aircraft engineers, draughtsmen, restorers, replica builders, and model enthusiasts. Limited references are available, including Supermarine factory drawings, living testimonies, and books like "Spitfire at War" by Alfred Price. Articles such as J. A. D. Ackroyd's "The Aerodynamics of the Spitfire" and "The Spitfire Wing Planform: A Suggestion" may also be consulted. Additional resources include a 3000-strong set of factory blueprints, 50000 documents at Hendon museum, and a laser-scanned MK VIII Spitfire from the Johannesburg Military Museum. A 3D model driven by parametric equations is available for further analysis.
