VTOL Drone Winglets + Podcast #167
from Premier Aerodynamics Podcast · host Premier Aerodynamics
What winglets are best for a VTOL drone? Are regular winglets, raked wingtips, or no wingtips best for lift and induced drag? AND are vortex panel methods any good compared to typical Navier Stokes CFD? Find out in this podcast! CHECK OUT our new OpenFoam CFD course that covers everything from literally installing it to running your own DES simulations, and everything in between: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/ CHECK OUT our new Intermediate CFD course that covers what you need to go into industry and do high quality simulations: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/ Want an easy way to make your experiments 2-4% more accurate?
