RE: Pattern ship winglet.
Excuse me if I'm skeptical.
Even if the canalizer works as described, I still don't know a) what to expect when it's added (plus or minus), b) how big it should be, c) what it should be shaped like or d) where it should be placed. Once on my plane, I will be doomed to report that it 'feels' better, lest I admit that I'm a lesser pilot than Mr. Big-Name.
With the technology we have today we still use guess-and-by golly fad approaches for airplane design.
I think we could do better.
