The wing looks like a normal swept wing, but for its wingtip. Instead of a trip aligned with the direction of flight, the tip is aligned perpendicular. Is that a constructional consideration? I imagine that a tip perpendicular to the direction of flight is easier to construct and probably stronger than a normal tip, with a very thin and long aft part.
