Extract

On the afternoon of 14th April 1987, the Society held a half-day symposium on wing-tip flows and devices. Papers were presented by J. J. Spillman of Cranfield Institute of Technology on wing-tip sails, by A. C. Willmer of British Aerospace (in association with R. V. Barrett and J. D. Coleman of Bristol University) on the tip flow of part-span flaps, and by H. P. Horton of Queen Mary College on measurements in the viscous flow regions of streamlined tips. Written versions of two of these talks and a synopsis of the third* have been prepared and are being printed in the Journal following these introductory remarks. The contribution by J. S. Smith of RAE to the discussion session is appearing elsewhere.
