Hershey bar wing vs composite wing - how much drag?
At these speeds I suspect surface condition is a small part of the
overall drag. However! If the new wing were a couple hundred pounds lighter, then you'd see some inprovement in speed. It takes power to stay aloft. The heavier the plane, the more power is required just to stay up. Lighter is mo' betta! Richard
