ABSTRACT:
A wing tip vortices suppressor utilizing a scoop having an inlet at the lower, leading surface of the wing and an outlet at the upper, trailing surface to reduce turbulence causing pressure differential across the wing. A turbulence fence is used at the tip to account for the frictional losses of the air flowing through the scoop and other phenomena that prevent exact pressure equilization.
