Gap seals effectiveness study?
Hi, we see lots of mylar gap seals and read lots of discussion of them. Does anyone know of an engineering study that quantifies their effect on sailplane wings or other wings? Nothing pops up quickly in Google. I'm wondering how much science there is to this practice.
I'm hoping for more than anecdotal comments. Saying that top racers all use them doesn't tell us much because so do almost everyone. |
