Great explanation!
I think it's also interesting to point out this is also the explanation for the trend of adding winglets to the tip of the wings.
They help reduce the wingtip vorticies, and in turn, reduce parasitic drag and improve fuel efficiencies.
- phumbe 10y agoGlad you brought up winglets. My favorite example are those on the new 737 MAX. Boeing's page[1] about them is top-notch. [1] http://www.boeing.com/commercial/737max/737-max-winglets/ http://www.boeing.com/commercial/737max/737-max-winglets/
