Flipperons for Improved Aerodynamic Performance
Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia
For a given airfoil design, lift is increased and drag reduced.
Lightweight, piezoelectrically actuated bending flight-control surfaces have shown promise as means of actively controlling airflows to improve the performances of transport airplanes. These bending flight-control surfaces are called “flipperons” because they look somewhat like ...
