Soundwaves Boost Wing Lift
Here's some news that recently came out:
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7867 http://abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1439827.htm Apparently, soundwaves can help airflow stay near the wing and increase lift. This can help smaller aircraft to avoid stalling at lower airspeeds. Is this a technology that could be usefully applied to existing small aircraft? Or would it require some totally new design thinking? |
