Division: | Sciences de la vie | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | Waterloo-Wellington | Ville: | Maryhill, ON | École: | St. John's-Kilmarnock School | Sommaire: | This project tested a new wing design that provides short take-off and landing characteristics for aircraft by redirecting the high velocity air from the engines overtop of the wing. The effect of the design on both thrust and lift were tested to determine that the stall speed of any aircraft can be greatly reduced. |
