Difference between Wingtip device and Wingtip vortices

Wingtip device vs. Wingtip vortices

Wingtip devices are intended to improve the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft by reducing drag. Wingtip vortices are circular patterns of rotating air left behind a wing as it generates lift.

Similarities between Wingtip device and Wingtip vortices

Wingtip device and Wingtip vortices have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Angle of attack, Armstrong Flight Research Center, Aspect ratio (aeronautics), Boeing 747, Glider (sailplane), Langley Research Center, Lift-induced drag, Lift-to-drag ratio, Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, NASA, Takeoff, Wake turbulence, Wing tip.

Angle of attack

In fluid dynamics, angle of attack (AOA, or \alpha (Greek letter alpha)) is the angle between a reference line on a body (often the chord line of an airfoil) and the vector representing the relative motion between the body and the fluid through which it is moving.

Lift-induced drag

In aerodynamics, lift-induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, is an aerodynamic drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it.

Lift-to-drag ratio

In aerodynamics, the lift-to-drag ratio, or L/D ratio, is the amount of lift generated by a wing or vehicle, divided by the aerodynamic drag it creates by moving through the air.
