Drag Reduction by Riblets on a Commercial UAV
Riblets are micro-grooves capable of decreasing skin-friction drag, but recent work suggests that additional benefits are possible for other components of aerodynamic drag. The effect of riblets on a fixed-wing, low-speed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) on the total aerodynamic drag are assessed here...
