I noticed this today: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7867
"In wind tunnel tests, Salmon stuck sections of plastic piezo-electric film to wing segments. This film vibrates when an electrical signal is applied, producing sound. Tests using a barely audible sinusoidal tone of about 400 hertz showed 22% increase in lift, compared with a standard wing" I've not found the entire paper but wonder: what thoughts or experience does anyone have on this topic as it might relate to gliding? Apart from the obvious about giving your aircraft a "tune up" ![]() Cheers, Neil -- Christchurch, NZ |
