The falcon 20 also has midspan fences that apparently in latter years were proven to provide no aerodynamic benefit. As the aircraft was type certificated with them it was too expensive to subsequently remove them. Could be an urban myth, anyone know.? Ever been at the hold line behind a Beech 1900.? That thing is bristling with stickeyout aerodynamic gizmo compensators.
