    I'm looking for any information relating to advancements in aerodynamics. Explanations of Delta Fins, shrakes, Q tip conversions, etc. I tried contacting Avcon about the fins but they haven't gotten back to me. It's for a paper I'm writing. If anyone has any info, It would certanly help out my grade.

    Thanks:)

    Keep the shiny side up.

    I have some friends at Boeing who know all about whatever you want to know. Give me some specifics and I'll see if I can get them to talk in English instead of formulae.

    Would that be " strakes" ? Good old flow straighteners.

    Ya, I looked up strakes, but I need why and how and couldn't find it. Honestly, I don't care what the subject is. It can't be winglets or V tail Bonanza's. Anything else is fine with me, I just need help finding the information I'm looking for. SWITCHES, if your friends at Boeing could help out, that would be super!

    Try Wikipedia and Google. You'd be amazed at the the info you can find on those two sites.
