Wings Vs Sails | Air Flow | Driving Force | Upwind Driving Force | Lift-Drag

Driving force

    Wings- The same efficiency in all wind directions. Sails - Over 20 degrees AOA, the aerodynamic efficiency is very small (lift is smaller and drag is bigger). In larger AOA, Drag becomes the driving force.
