Try it on what? It only really works on poorly proportioned (i.e. stubby) sections. Duncan McF. On Saturday, August 17, 2002 6:18 AM, Paul Boulet [SMTP:possible2do@yahoo.com] wrote:

Duncan. I too am interested in this product having opened a similar thread on air flow and surface tension a few months ago. Could you please expand on your otherwise useless comments? Do you have pe

Thanks for the insult! If you read the Sport Aviation article carefully (i.e. between the lines) I think the conclusion is apparent. Dimples work well on golf balls. On a well proportioned airfoil at

Duncan. Sorry for the shot, but your new response was worthy. A couple more sentences explains your position, which is much more useful than just stating it. It is an intriguing subject. When I initi

Perhaps indeed so, and also exactly where on the wing? A laminar flow airfoil might require much experimentation. The dimpletape people say place it at max wing thickness, which theory would support

Point taken. I gather also that a "matt" surface has been shown to be beneficial on gliders, although it is attributed to being because the slightly roughened surface causes rainwater to spread as a

A method used by sailplane pilots involves painting a few feet of wing with used (dirty) engine oil at several locations (tip, mid-span, root). Fly around at cruise airspeed for awhile and you can se

FWIW, there are four possible ways airflow around a airfoil "produces" drag (at least when slower than mach 1 <g> ). * laminar airflow - lowest * turbulent * "middle" * _laminar_ separation, socalled

Dave, Possible, but i rather doubt it would be much help- the curvature of the window is rather sharp, so i'd presume that the flow separates rather fast behind the "max thickness" of the "airfoil" .

Jeff, I retrieved the article from CD, and the VG's are for low-speed behavior only, as I suspected. The speed gain was from at least $15,000 in other mods, including 10 more HP. Same I fear for the

Graham, if sailplane people use a trip there are two possibilites: * to "correct" a behaviour not intended/expected at construction time, what _may_bring the thing up to the design L/D * "by design"
