The effect of twist on flexible hydrofoils

Flexible low aspect ratio hydrofoils were tested to investigate the effect of twist on the lift and drag characteristics and in particular, the high induced drag force. Flexible models with stiffeners at various positions and rigid models with a set twist were tested in a water flume and the lift an...
