Has anyone ever put winglets on a 2-33? *or any other Schweitzer?
When I read the subject I burst out laughing. I think tip losses on any Schweitzer are so far down in the noise you'd never see the change. :-) * * ...lew... Hmmm, while laughable on a 2-33 or *most* any SGS using essentially a Clark-Y airfoil, the 1-35, prolly even the 2-32, and perhaps even the 1-34 and 1-36 would benefit as much as any other ship (% wise) from properly designed tip treatments. Look at all the big dumb ugly normal aircraft that get them, there must be _some gains... I do remember seeing a pic a few years back of some cardboard mock-ups of winglets on a 2-33 done as a joke... which was rather amusing. Of course you can always just 'shop them in- they'd be just as effective! -Paul |
