A380 wing fence??
Hi everyone,
I have read through articles about winglet and wing fence in this forum and I couldn't find what are the differences between them. If someone could explain a little bit more, I would really really appreciate it.
1) what is the difference between winglet and wing fence? except the shape is different, I know they both are used to reduce induce drag and wingtip vortex, any other difference?
2) A380 uses wing fences is because it's wingspan is 80m long which reaches the maximum limitation for the gate. Is there any other reasons other than this?
3) It's an interview question and I have no idea how to explain better other than telling them that A380's wingspan is 80m long already, if it uses winglets, it won't fit at the gate?
Please help...
desperated.....
