EAGLE FEATHERS ! ! !

Dang you come up with some unusual stuff. After your post about middle wing effect I went looking at just what in tarnation a wing grid is. It's a mechanical version of the eagle's tip feather arrangement. Very interesting I must say.

But other than copies of a non scientific nature for mock bird models I doubt anyone has tried this. You can be first and we'll follow like good little sheep...

I think some serious work would need to be done for our sizes and reynolds numbers to determine the optimum number and angles for this system. A wind tunnel would be a good starting point since I doubt there's much math to support our speed and size range.
