Podcast #140 - Adaptive Airplane Winglets Part 2
from Premier Aerodynamics Podcast · host Premier Aerodynamics
Premier Aerodynamics: https://www.youtube.com/premieraerodynamics?sub_confirmation=1 Airplanes have used winglets for many years now, and for good reason. They increase their efficiencies. But, the problem with traditional winglets is that they are fixed in one geometry. What if you could adapt your winglets to deliver better performance at different flight phases? This podcast discusses this idea. This is part 2! Want an easy way to make your experiments 2-4% more accurate?
