It is the edge most exposed to wind, and on flags in regular use it is often the first portion to fray; many service flags are hemmed or reinforced at the fly-end for this reason. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with &#8216;fly&#8217;, although strictly the fly is the half of the field and the fly-end is the edge itself.<\/p>\n<p>**Example**: The fly-end of a swallow-tailed pennant is cut into two tapering points rather than left as a straight edge.<\/p>\n<p>**See also**: [fly](\/glossary\/fly\/), [hoist-end](\/glossary\/hoist-end\/), [swallow-tail](\/glossary\/swallow-tail\/), [pennant](\/glossary\/pennant\/)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-604","term","type-term","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term\/604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/term"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
