Name That Part #3

The white thingy that the red arrow is pointing at. Good luck!

Didn't the government just spend a bunch of money to measure those or am I confusing this with a SZ thread?

It's not a duck penis!

 

[Everskyward]

I know! But I'll keep quiet this time.

I won't call you a guy either

That is a simple Goose Gooser, used to curtail bird strikes by Canadian Geese, I think Sully invented it.

I am so full of shyte.

 

[HPNPilot1200]

That's easy. It's a thingy-ma-bober. I'll keep quiet, too.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Probably some sort of vortilon thing.

Sure nuff. What does it do?

The is a pic of the leading edge on a Hawker 850XP. There is one vortilon on each wing about oh 10 feet or so from the wing roots.

Vortex generators to reduce spanwise flow of air. Increases lift at low speeds and reduces stall speed.

Thank you!

There is only one OEM that PRIDES itself on airfoil design that DOES NOT need "cheating" devices like vortilons, votex generators, cupped washers, stall fences etc, and that is Dassault.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Coolio! What do I win?

 

[Stevel]

Damn!

I was certain that it was a tusk, and though it may be vestigial now, was once a powerful defensive weapon.

I guess my aviation-ivory business scheme isn't going to fly afterall.

 

[Marauder]

The admiration from the rest of us who were too lazy to respond...

 

[X3 Skier]

WRONG! It is a high speed drop tank used to increase range AND is detachable for use in a game of Lawn Darts by NFL Linemen.

Cheers

 

[brentee]

Hmmm. So, not a result of this near miss??

Really? Looks like a Küchemann Carrot or Anti-Shock Body to me....

I suppose if you mounted the wings on backwards, it would be.

 

[Old Geek]

I suppose if you mounted the wings on backwards, it would be.

First sentence of the wikipedia article: An Anti-shock body, (also known as Whitcomb body or Küchemann carrot) is a pod positioned on the leading edge or trailing edge of an aircraft's aerodynamic surfaces to reduce wave drag at transonic speeds (Mach 0.8–1.0).

Says leading edge or trailing edge.

 

[bnt83]

Sadly the top speed of the 850XP is 0.80 Mach

 

[us AAirways]

That is the thing you bump your head on during the walk around.

It's a sensor pod for the new G-VI "Wild Weasel" variant.
