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 aircraf...
