I've already stuck my neck out and estimated the effect on a 15 m glider
like mine. You can read that at www.oxaero.com, near the bottom of the page on Dr. Sinha. In about a week I hope to have a good baseline polar for my ship, then we will apply a full span treatment, inner panels first, and see what we get.

Is the practical relevance that a 40:1 ship becomes a 40:.75? Are you moving the polar curve, flattening it, both, other? Will it fit in a Christmas stocking? Brent

How long will it last ( UV degredation, trailer rash etc )?
How's it fitted? I sent a mail to the inventor of this system about a year ago and didn't even get a response. If you want to market the system you will have to spill the beans on price etc! Ian

Ian,
Don't know about UV yet. It is delicate and will require TLC. It sticks on much like turbulator tape and gap seals. Price will be geared to performance. Jim "tango4" wrote in message ...

Ahhhh
Nothing to do with the cost of production so much as what the market will stand? I see that the US military have a vested interest in the patents having supplied funding for the development. What percentage will they get from sales? Could be interesting. The US government may prohibit the sale of this item to outside countries under some 'export of technology' legislation.
