antidrag wire

antidrag wire
Criss-crossed tension wires between the spars to form a truss to resist forces acting on the wing in the direction of the wing chord. The wire designed to resist the backward forces is called a drag wire; the antidrag wire resists the forward forces in the chord direction.
