Re: Effects of different types of wings

Thought of a "Flow Table"? Piece of glass with water flowing accross it, wing sections placed on glass, flow lines produced by Potassium Permanganate crystals. It is visually effective. Or a really simple one, wing section fixed horizontally to a spring scale. Blow air over it a differing angles and read off the "lift" produced. Repeat for different sections.
