I think this is pretty cool. Such innovation will allow more efficient flights further driving down costs and the concept has long been shown to minimize turbulence.
Good on them. It’s not like Boeing is not also studying this and can implement it when the concept is proven correct.
I agree. It’s another control surface so why not use it. Just put the right computer and the right algorithm in charge and you’re in business.
I wish them luck and hope they succeed.
This will have issues when scales up. The hinges will have incredible stress and the momentum on the wingtip from hard changes in pressure from gusts. Will probably need to be mechanically controlled to protect the wing, unlike what is seen in the model.
I think this is pretty cool.
YES!
And if an industry is not advancing, they are mostly roadkill.
