Lift-induced drag is generated as a byproduct of wingtip vortices. The highly efficient winglets minimize the effects of wingtip vortices, enhancing the aircraft's fuel performance and range.

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have used rectangular vortex generators (VGs) as a passive cooling technique for photovoltaic panels and have found they can ...

This is what is known in the jargon as ‘vortex effects’: as with an aeroplane, behind each wind turbine certain, often very irregular, wind currents are formed. By measuring and mapping these ...
