Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.1.4 Lecture 4C: The Box Wing, or Prandtl-plane

Course subject(s) Module 4: Novel Aircraft Design

Lecture 4C: The Box Wing, or Prandtl-plane.

Of course, more configurations are available than just the Flying V. In this lecture, Dr. Carmine Varriale, assistant professor in the section of Flight Performance and Propulsion, will showcase the box wing. Why does it work? Why is it more efficient? And lastly, what other cool benefits does it have?

Enjoy!
