And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Wing fences to help keep boundary layer air flow from running out spanwise towards the wingtips (where it then defects to the West). It helps low speed control. Better wing designs don't require them.
Funny thing is, I do not believe that was an original Soviet design. Shortly before WW2 ended, Henkel had a prototype which strongly, very strongly resembled what became the Mig. Coincidence???

ReplyDeleteThe fins on the wing are to keep the airflow from defecting to the West.
ReplyDeleteI believe the fins are called "Vortex Generators". Something to do with stall I believe. Could be wrong.

DeleteThey are stall fences not VGs.
