ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this invention is to influence the behavior of the airflow near the wingtip, where the higher pressure air from below the wing swirls up over the end of the wing, to arrive at the lower pressure area above the wing. This process will be discouraged because of the high degree of drag it creates and the flow of air rearward will be encouraged. This flow should continue as smooth as possible to the trailing edge of the wing and up and out to the pencil point end of the appendants.
