High-lift devices & drag reduction

Article Abstract:

Airplanes can be made smaller, lighter and quicker with a wider range of speeds with high-lift devices and drag reduction techniques. Flaps and careful drag reduction add strength and capability to new designs, such as the 'Lancairs, 'Glassairs,' 'Swift Lightning' and 'Pulsars.'
