Tip Stalling
Hey,
In HTBJ, the author talks about "boundary layer outflow" as being one of the primary reasons for swept wing aircraft stalling. What does this mean. One would assume that he is not referring to spanwise flow on the upper wing as my inderstanding is that it moves from the tip to the root.
He also cites the reason for tip stall being increased wing loading - which makes some sense.
Anyone shed any light?
Thanks
K
