Engine Cowl Fun
Hi Folks,
On all modern passenger jets there is either one or two fins on the engine cowling. They are on the 737, 747-8, 777, 787, A320 series, A330/340-5/600, A380. What are they for, how do they work and what are the advantages of having them there? What would happen if they weren't. At high angles of attack in moist weather there is a generated vortex off them over the wing. Can someone link me to a site that explains their use please?
Cheers...
