Flip Wing or Flipwing
for any application is studied from this folder.
Safety
AWES5604 flipwing
- An integral
airfoil that has rapid change of angle of attack so as to cause a
rotation about a axis is flipping and thus a flip wing; the rotation may
be full and continuing or may be partial and reversing. Do not confuse
Savonius or Darrieus arrangements as flipwing as they are composites
of two or more airfoils with special interactions because of the
multiplicity.

folder Distinguish "flip winging" from Magnus-effect cylinder dynamics and
from Darrieus arrangements. Distinguish "flip winging" from tossed
or flipped wings that are intended for gliding or kiting without
autorotation about lateral axis of the wing. For "flip-wing": the
axis of rotation is within the wing. Also, distinguish from Savonius
rotor which canonically is not a flipwing.
Note: Many texts confuse Magnus-effect devices for flip wings; however,
note that during flip winging there occurs a circulation air cylinder that
has a slight Magnus-effect dynamics respecting that air cylinder;
however, in flip winging, the dominant lifting occurs via
non-Magnus-effect dynamics.
Research tips: In the literature explore Savonius, rotary-wings
(some are flip wings), miss-applied Magnus-effect studies, kite patents on
rotary wings, ribbon kite, ... Sectors of flip

Take flip-wing and bridle at the ends of its rotation axis; hang a

and have a horizontal-axis winged paraglider. (source)
