overhang
i. The distance from the outer strut attachment to the tip of the wing.
ii. On a biplane, triplane, or other multiplane, an extension of a wing beyond that of another in a spanwise direction; the amount of this extension is equal to one-half the difference between the spans of the wing from tip to tip.
