How Does Winglet Cant and Sweep Angles Affect A Wing's Aerodynamics? + Podcast #161
from Premier Aerodynamics Podcast · host Premier Aerodynamics
Winglets are maybe the best flow control device on an airplane. BUT, there are so many different ways to shape them. How does the cant angle and the sweep angle affect a wing's lift coefficient, drag coefficient, and lift to drag ratio? Find out in this podcast!
