An important part of passenger aircraft-shark fin winglet
posted the : 2024-01-12
The shark fin winglet of passenger aircraft is a new wing tip device developed for A320 series aircraft, which is used to replace the existing winglet. Shark fin winglet is specially developed by Airbus for A320 series aircraft, which is a device used to control and stabilize airspeed and prevent and reduce wing tip stall in flight.
The installation of shark fin winglets can reduce the fuel consumption of aircraft during flight, and its effects include:
1. ** Reduce drag * *: Winglets can partially block the flow around the upper edge of the wing, thus reducing drag and improving flight efficiency.
2. ** Increase the range * *: According to the data, each plane can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1,000 tons per year, which is equivalent to the carbon emissions of 200 family cars in one year. At the same time, the shark fin winglet can also enhance the aircraft's payload, range and take-off performance.
For more information about the shark fin winglet, it is recommended to visit Airbus official website or consult aviation books.
