摘要

Four years ago, I added wingtip Extensions to my homebuilt. Originally, I had built the wing 20 inches shorter than its intended span of 35 feet, intending to add the tips after flight tests. I hoped to be able to adjust the dihedral with those little bits at the ends of the wings. It worked; but now many people who see them remark, "Ah, winglets!"rnThey're not winglets.rnThroughout die history of aeronautics, people have experimented with various ways of ending wings. The most common tip treatment has been some variation on a simple rounded cap-for a long time Mooneys dispensed even with that, wearing their sawed-offtips with disdainful pride-but marginal gains in one area or another have been claimed for upturned or downturned tips, tip plates, tip fences, winglets and whatnot.rnAll of these are weapons in the war against the tip vortex.rnThe tip vortex cannot be destroyed. Airplanes remain aloft because the pressure on die top of a wing is less than that on the bottom, and air near the wingtip inevitably tries to correct the imbalance by flowing outward along the bottom surface and spilling around the tip. This cannot be prevented by any sort of gadget affixed to a wingtip, any more than the flooding of New Orleans could have been prevented by putting vortex generators on top of the levees.
