RE: Is there an engineer in the house?
Interesting stuff.
Meditating on the issue further, it seems that, even if winglets were to give an appreciable increase in low-speed lift, this could well be gained at the expense of roll-rate. Since the Falcon has good low-speed flying characteristics as it is, and (unlike most full-sized GA aircraft) I want to retain aerobatic capability, the whole STOL winglets idea may not be such a good one.
