Would a wingtip stall still be bad if there was no aileron there?
The left wing is stalled (operating at an even higher angle of attack than the right wing): it's lift coefficient is much lower than that of the right wing: the airplane wants to roll. … If the lift production of the stalled wing remains less than that of the other wing, the aircraft will continue to roll. …

What is the function of the leading edge strip?
A picture of this from a wing I built is below (the leading edge is on the left hand side -- and just ignore the fact that the wing is twisted...). … However, the addition of a structural element, such as a leading edge cap, that goes the length of the wing adds a non-negligible amount of torsional stiffness to the wing. …

Can this design provide more lift force than thrust from engine?
(Propeller/wing interaction) in the 1980s recorded a wing seeing up to 40% savings in induced drag based on the adjustment of a tractor propeller's rotation rate! … If you have a small enough wing, though, say on the scale of UAV, there's a good chance you could have a significant portion of your wing in the propwash, which can keep the flow attached to the wing at …

Could an airplane dock with a set of wing extensions while airborne?
Also, more reading can be found in this text Flying Aircraft Carriers of the USAF: Wing Tip Coupling by Brian Lockett.
Naturally, there were significant downsides to this idea. … Due to conflicting requirements on wing structure and aircraft weight, I think that ultimately didn't fly...but I don't have any of the details for that. …

Are aircraft with squirrel cage fans as wings viable?
The paper utilizes the projected area of the cycloidal rotor (the "drum", if you will, the forms the fan wing concept). … I've seen more CAD of fan-wing designs than I have vehicles (at least, for those larger than the MAV scale), so I'm inclined that think it's not living up to expectations for the larger vehicles, but that's …
