Kevin Callahan Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 This is definitely on the future acquisitions list. And I would second the vote for a Junkers G-38 too. I once had a (Fliegerhorst?) 1:72 resin kit of a G-38 but it was fairly appalling and I sold it on a few years back. Now it is someone else's doorstop! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elliptical platform falls out of aerodynamic theory as the most efficient with respect to induced drag (the component of drag that is associated with the production of lift).

This is becuase the drag is proportional to the chord at the wingtip. Eliptical wing goes smoothly with chord to zero. Similar idea is with winglets - OK, not exactly but close...

As a result the wing spanwise lift distribution does not decrease as rapidly towards the wingtips as it would without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very clear! And now we definitely know where BAC got its ideas for the TSR.2 as well! You think this might also have influenced the Avro Arrow as well?
