The story of the design and corresponding detailed aerodynamic analysis has been presented during XXXth OSTIV congress in Szeged (August 2010).
Summary :
- This winglet design has converged, using reasonnably simple method and pragmatic considerations
- A CAD model, compatible with milling constraints, has been created by Flybiwo
- A set of Navier stockes computation has been performed using TAU code (DLR)
For different reasons (including funding...) the materialisation of those winglet is stalled for now. If you show an interest to it, don't hesitate to contact me !
