What is it about?
This paper investigates the control authority of hinged winglets on low aspect ratio wings, specifically the roll moment generated by these novel control surfaces.

Why is it important?
Low aspect ratio wings suffer from large roll instability due to sideslip perturbations and low inertial damping about the longitudinal axis.
