Dihedral or polyhedral may refer to: * Dihedral angle, the angle between two mathematical planes *

Dihedral (aeronautics) Dihedral angle is the upward angle from horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed-wing aircraft. "Anhedral angle" is the name given to negative dihedral angle, that is, when there is a ''downward'' angle from horizontal of the wings or ...

, the upward angle of a fixed-wing aircraft's wings where they meet at the fuselage, dihedral ''effect'' of an aircraft, longitudinal dihedral angle of a fixed-wing aircraft *
