Flanker

Also called side unit, wing

One of the angled side windows of a bay, joining the center unit to the wall.

A flanker is one of the two windows that angle back from the center unit to meet the wall. Flankers are commonly casements or double-hung windows so that the bay can be opened.

They are joined to the center unit at the mullions, and to the wall at the jambs of the opening.
