It might not seem logical that adding additional structure to an aircraft’s wing could reduce drag and enable it to slip through the air more efficiently. If we allowed a rowboat’s oar to drag through the water or installed a roof rack onto a car, we would create more drag, thereby more drag, thereby decreasing speed and efficiency. However, when aerospace engineering intersects with fluid […]
