The article reports that startup Metro Aerospace has delivered the first shipsets of drag-reducing microvanes for the Lockheed Martin C130 Hercules to the Royal Canadian Air Force. It notes that the upswept aft fuselage of the Hercules accounts for as much as 11% of total drag in cruise. The micro-vortices created by the vanes reshape the airflow around the cargo ramp, and flight tests confirmed an average 15-point reduction in drag.
