The Annular wing fin story part 1 : Why does this alaia board have a tunnel ?
Because they feel goodIt's the experience !We have lots of technical mumbo jumbo on the subject of annular wings, including the reason why the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic establishment are sometimes unable to understand them properly: Just how does one compare a semi circular or circular wing with a flat one? Do we compare wings of the same planshape area? Or do we compare wings which produce the same amount of lift in a given situation? Perhaps we could compare wings which have the same surface area ? The establishment tends to do the first i.e they compare flat and annular wings of the same planshape area. . .. . that leads to some misleading conclusions which have kept annular wings in relative obscurity , as we shall see. . .
