Optimum Spanloads Incorporating Wing Structural Considerations And Formation Flying
The classic minimum induced drag spanload is not necessarily the best choice for an aircraft. For a single aircraft configuration, variations from the elliptic, minimum drag optimum load distribution can produce wing weight savings that result in airplane performance benefits. For a group of …

Understanding the Structure of Wing Tip Vortices of Bio-Inspired Winglets
… analyzed to determine an approximation for the induced drag. The wing with the bio-inspired winglet generated the highest lift at a given angle of attack, as reported previously. At higher angles of attack, the wing with the conventional winglet had the minimum induced drag. All three wing …

Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design of small unmanned aircraft system propellers at low Reynolds numbers.
… tested. A Prandtl bell-shaped lift distribution, minimum induced loss design, was applied to a propeller resulting in decreased power consumption and improved electrical efficiency by 18.51% with a SPL reduction of 11.15 dBA compared against the Baseline propeller. The Baseline propeller used an …
