Sumario:Flying buttresses have been extensively studied from a mechanical, constructive or descriptive point of view. The references on its geometric aspects are practically scarce and unfortunately, we have to go back to 1854 to find any note on the morphological analysis of these elements; Specifically, Viollet-le-Duc classified the arches that make up the edge of the flying buttresses based on where their centers are located, allowing them to be grouped into two categories. This historical note and the use of graphic, geometric and statistical techniques have allowed us to channel this investigation consisting of three studies: the first one determines –in a non-arbitrary way– the center O and the radius R of the arch of a flying buttress, directly obtaining the rest of the parameters that constitute it (inclination α, rise F, span distance L and thickness E); the second study presents a new proposal for the definition of inclination α that represents the entire arch of the flying buttress; and the third study establishes an objective methodology to determine the level of influence of a flying buttress on the structural behavior of the architectural complex according to its morphology
