Question about CRJ700
Hi all,
I fly (as a passenger) between LYS and MUC quite often with Lufthansa. Typically the AC is either a CRJ700 or CRJ900. I have noticed something rather strange on the 700.
On the tips of the wings where they stick up, there are some kind of probes (I assume they are probes anyway) on the trailing edge of both wing tips. On the port wing, the top probe starts to oscillate in a circular fashion close to and at cruising speed/altitude.
On the starboard wing this does not occur even though similar probes are present.
On the CRJ900 this doesn't happen.
What are these probes for? (if they are indeed probes)
and why would one of them vibrate like this - wouldn't this affect any measurements coming from it?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have no idea who to ask about this...
Thanks all
Rich
