The leading edge of a radar pulse determines range accuracy. The trailing edge, along with pulse width, determines minimum range.
Trailing edge is the rear edge of a wing.
The trailing edge is where the air flow comes together. The leading edge is where the air is diverted to produce the low pressure (top) and high pressure (bottom) to create lift.
The term TE MAC stands for Trailing Edge Mean Aerodynamic Chord. It is the average distance between the leading and trailing edge of an aircraft's wing, taken at the trailing edge of the wing. This measurement is important for calculating the aircraft's balance and stability.
Gliders circle by turning. This needs a down aileron on trailing edge of the outside wing, and up aileron on the trailing edge of the inside wing, and a little inwards rudder to balance the different drag from each wing, and a little down elevator from the horizontal tail trailing edge to keep up the speed even though the drag has increased. So when a glider flies in circles, it descends, unless there is an updraft.

The kind that goes fast.
wingspan is defined as the distance from wing tip to wing tip
Internal stress exceeds the strength of the material. The cause of the stress is that the "leading edge" of the object stops while the "trailing edge" is still moving.
The main parts of an airfoil include the leading edge, the trailing edge, the chord line (line connecting leading and trailing edges), the camber (curve of the upper and lower surfaces), and the thickness of the airfoil. These parts work together to create lift and reduce drag as air flows over the surface of the airfoil.
Trailing edge
Airplane engines are affixed to the front fuselage (nose), the leading or trailing edge of the wings, or the tailplane, depending on the type of airplane.
