The present development relates to an improved wing having a tip tank
assembly. The tip tank assembly is attached to a distal end of an outer
wing section. The tip tank assembly includes a tank, a pair of mounting
brackets and a fairing assembly. The fairing assembly includes a nose
piece, a central piece, a tail piece, an inner end plate, and an upper
close out piece. The inner end plate extends perpendicularly downward
from a lower surface of the outer wing section eventually terminating at
a bottom portion of the central piece. The inner end plate acts as an air
dam to trap high pressure air that is generated during flight,
substantially increasing the lift of the wing. Lastly, the upper close
out piece extends between an upper wing surface and an upper portion of
the central piece increasing the overall wingspan of the aircraft.
