They work like a Rolodex, mounting flaps around a cylinder for a full alpha-numeric font set. A PIC 12F683 was selected to control the display, using optoisolation to separate the 42V display ...

[Tom] fabricated these beautiful alpha-numeric split flaps from scratch ... and part way into the project we looked at some of the control hardware for the installation. Make sure that you ...

they uncovered the physics by which the flaps improved lift and identified two ways that the flaps control air moving around the wing.

"These flaps can both help the plane avoid stall and make it easier to regain control when stall does occur," said Aimy Wissa, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and ...
