The design and testing of a winglet airfoil for low-speed aircraft by Mark D.The design of Winglets for high performance sailplanes.The design of winglets for low-speed aircraft by Mark D.Maughmer, published June 2002 “Soaring Magazine” ( view PDF ) Yankee Composites offers winglet retro-fitting and winglet kits for selected sailplane models.įor more information on winglets, we refer to the following articles: More recently, Professor Maughmer has collaborated directly with Schempp-Hirth designers and the result of their teamwork is now incorporated by Schempp-Hirth in the production of various Ventus models, including the new Ventus, the Duo Discus X and the Arcus. In short, winglets allow a sailplane to climb effectively in thermals at low speeds, and enable the sailplane to glide efficiently between thermals at high speeds. Since 1994, M&H Soaring has worked with Professor Mark Maughmer of Penn State University to design and manufacture winglets that have shown to improve the handling and performance of high performance sailplanes. Projektstart 09.12.20 - Ausflug nach Hattorf am Harz um den Ventus b zu holen. Winglets, in all forms and shapes, have become a standard feature in sailplane design. Baustelle Nr.2: die Auenflgel und Winglets waren matt Blau lackiert. Yankee Composites is now making winglets for the Ventus, Discus and Cirrus.
