Porous ForebodyPassive device reduces asymmetries in flows and aerodynamic loads. Porous forebody is passive mechanical device, significantly enhancing flight characteristics of all aircraft by minimizing influences of aerodynamics of forebodies upon those characteristics. Leads to safer and better-handling aircraft. Also useful on fast land vehicles and structures or devices subject to high wind.
