Abstract
Flying on ground poses technical and aerodynamical challenges. The
requirements for compactness, efficiency, manouverability,
off-design operation,open new areas of investigations in the
fieldof aerodynamic analysis and design. A review ofthe
characteristics of low-aspect ratio wings, in- and out of ground,
is presented. It is shownthat the performance of such wings is
generally inferior to that of slender wings, although in ground
placement can yield substantial improvements in the aerodynamic
efficiency.
