Thank you. I'm a physicist, and I have come across some beautiful equations that are also art. The Fibonacci sequence (it makes a tree) the Cornu spiral (like a Nautilus's shell) and the Mandelbrot curve. The shape of that wing comes from aerodynamicists at Broughton, Wales, where all 3-series wings have been designed since the original 300 series to the best of my knowledge; they didn't intend to create art, they wanted to get the most efficient wing that would use the least fuel, and glide for the longest, but as a by-product they created something pleasing to the eye which your photograph captured perfectly.
