I recall those bulbs were on very old extrusions. I have seen them on aircraft dating from the 1930s (a Boeing Model 247 if you are curious, I engineered some of the restoration mods). They are no longer used because it is more weight efficient to use the material in the bulb to extend the...

I received my BS in Aeronautical Engineering from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. Nice curriculum.
There is also an aero program at UC Berkeley, I believe, as well as UC Santa Barbara, but that was a number of years ago. No doubt there are many others. Most of those...
I doubt that honeycomb will help you there. Vacuum vessels, if I understand this correctly, are dominated by hoop and longitudinal stresses, not bending. Honeycomb is excellent for applications that need to spread the top and bottom (tension and compression) fibers apart, but useless for single...
Hello Stephen,
The basic difference between those three planform types is the slope of the lift curve. Granted, they also have different critical mach numbers, but I doubt your wind tunnel will produce transonic flows. If it can, let me know and we'll talk about it. Everything below is...
