| Description | Results are presented of groundbased and flight investigations performed to develop spoilers as trailing vortex alleviation devices. Based on the results obtained in these investigations, it was found that the induced rolling moment on a trailing model can be reduced by spoilers located near the midsemispan of a vortex generating wing. Substantial reductions in induced rolling moment occur when the spoiler vortex attenuator is located well forward on both unswept and swept wing models. In addition, it was found that existing flight spoilers on the jumbo-jet transport aircraft can be effective as trailing vortex attenuators. |
