Effect of an Alternate Winglet on the Pressure and Spanwise Load Distributions of a First-Generation Jet Transport Wing

摘要

Pressure and span-wise load distributions on a first-generation jet transport semispan model at subsonic speeds are presented. The wind-tunnel data were measured for the wing with and without an alternate winglet. The results show that the winglet affected the outboard wing pressure distributions and increased the spanwise loads near the tip.
