From my french book "avions et aerodynique"I ve learned that the profile shape of the supercritical wing allowes a higher load factor than the critical wing close to the trailling edge of the wing.

The supercritical wing has a more balanced load factor on a larger surface lof the wing.

The critical wing support his associated load factor on a smaller surface of the wing
