Abstract
A wing structure includes: a main wing that extends in a second direction intersecting a first direction as a fluid flow direction; and an auxiliary wing that is disposed so as to be separated from the main wing and faces the main wing at the front part side of the main wing, wherein a wing chord length of the auxiliary wing is shorter than a wing chord length of the main wing. A fluid contacts the auxiliary wing which is formed at the front part side of the main wing, the fluid is guided between the auxiliary wing and the main wing, and the fluid is compressed when passing between the auxiliary wing and the main wing, thereby appropriately forming a fluid compression process region on the surface of the main wing and increasing an acting force.
