I think those winglets will grow on planes. They will grow, and grow, and grow until the plane becomes a ...... BIPLANE!!!! (hey Chip, any thoughts about a single profiled surface cabane in your bip?)
Go back and look at the pic in post #2...It's no joke, that's where all this stuff is heading. It's my version of Nat Penton's Voodoo Express. He's been flying his for years (now flying it electric on a Plett motor). Mine is 7-1/2 lbs on a YS110 with 860 squares, 67" span/78" long. This plane flies straight with zero down/zero right thrust, no dihedral, and has no coupling with rudder application....
BTW Although some may be legimiate experiments, I sure most of the pics presented here are staged for our entertainment...
