from structural considerations. The weight of'the wing increases considerably
because of the additional structure that is needed to resist the large bending loads
caused by increased span or the added weight ofthe end plates.Another met,hod that
is simpler and does not encounter this problem is the use of winglets as discu,ssed
in the following section.
    One effective method of reducing induced drag of a lifting surface is the ap-
plication of winglets. A winglet is a small "wing" placed near the wing tips and
almost normal to the main wing surface as shown in Fig. 1.32. Placing a winglet
on an existing wing alters the spanwise distribution of the circulation, hence the
structure of the wing tip vortices. The key to achieving induced-drag reduction
is the efficient generation of a side force. The side force is generated due to the
lift-induced inflow above the wing tip or due to the outfiow below the wing tip.
The side force dyN generated by the winglet because of fiow angle a' is diret:ted
inboard as shown in Fig. 1.32b. This side force provides a component -dD in
the fiight direction that contributes to a reduction in induced drag. This effect is
similar to that on a sail of a sailboat tacking up wind.
    The application of winglets to KC135 aerial~tanker aircraft resulted in approx-
imately 9% reduction in drag at cruise conditions. Winglets are also used on the

1.8   Tip Vortices: Formation and Hazards
       A salient feature offinite wingsis the existence of tip vortices and their influence
on the aircraft that fly in their vicinity. Note that for a two-dimensional wing, which
is supposed to extend from -oo to oo, there are no tip effects and tip vortices do
not exist.
   Tip vortices on a finite wing are mainly caused by the pressure differences ex-
isting on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. For a lifting wing operating
at positive angles of attack, the pressure on the upper surface is lower compared
to that on the lower surface. Be9ause of this pressure differential, there is"~ ten-
dency for the fluid to "leak" from lower surfaces to higher surfaces, and wing
tips provide a path to this "leakage:' Thus, fluid particles from the lower surface
tend to go around the wing tips and move on to the upper surface, forming a
curved, vortex type of fiow as shown in Fig. 1.33a. This curved fiow, combined
with the freestream airflow, when viewed from top, appears to be moving in a
helical path as shown in Fig. 1.33b. A short distance downstream of the wing,
the vortices roll up tightly into so-called tip vortices. These tip vort,ices remain
in fiuid medium for some time before getti:g dissipated because of viscosit)r and
ambient turbulence. For the time duration when these tip vortices exist, they can
create significant hazards to the aircraft that fiy into this area unaware of/their
existence.
