German term or phrase: nach vorn eilende (bzw. zurückeilende) Flügel
Aus einem Forschungsdokument:
Aufstellen eines Flugversuchsprogramms, Durchführung
und Auswertung im Hinblick auf eine Systemidentifizierung
nach FAA AC120-45A für die (Name des Flugzugtypes)

Theoretische Grundlagen
Der Flügelbeitrag entsteht durch die unterschiedliche Anströmgeschwindigkeit längs der Spanweite, die zu einer unsymmetrischen Auftriebsverteilung führt. Der *nach vorn eilende Flügel* erzeugt im Unterschall infolge der höheren Anströmgeschwindigkeit mehr Auftrieb, der *zurückeilende* weniger. Diese Unsymmetrie ruft ein Rollmoment um die Längsachse des Flugzeugs hervor.

Re: Leading/trailing was my first thought. Even though it is mostly used to describe the frontside/backside *edge* of a single wing, it is also used for the situation in curves, I think. I don't know, however, if you would/should distiguish between steady curves and yaw.

neutral  Harry Borsje: The text does not deal with different wing shapes on different planes but refers to the left and right wing (or vice versa) during a yawing motion.

  -> Vielen Dank für Deinen Hinweis, Harry, und entschuldige, Jonathan! Ich hatte neben meiner eigenen Übersetzung geantwortet und offensichtlich den Kontext nicht sorgfältig genug gelesen.

Asker: you may be right but would you accept 'leading" instead of/as an alternative to 'forward' (seewww.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?WO=1985%2F04148&
