Japanese Patent JPH07506318
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A lifting body moves relative to a fluid, thereby creating a vortex field in the fluid downstream of the lifting body. The lifting body has a predetermined lift distribution along the length thereof which enhances the velocity component of the fluid flow directed outwardly from the centroid of the vortex field to reduce the strength of trailing vortices. In a preferred embodiment, the lifting body is a wing with a perturbation proximate to the tip end of the wing planform trailing edge.
