Hello Paul,

Yesterday I met Christian Hugues, developer of Minix winglets.
Those winglets have shown reduction of induced drag of 18% on wing and
thus about 6% on total plane drag.

See video of principle on http://www.minix.fr/video_minix_swf.htm
Prototype on a plane is currently being installed in the UK.
French site is complete : www.minix.fr
English site not complete yet : http://www.minix.fr/english/index.php

I think you might be excited to see this. Any interest of using those?


Best regards,

Randolph in Paris

That is very interesting. Reducing induced drag has been the holy grail aero engineers for decades.
