KĂĽchemann Carrots
KĂĽchemann Carrots is a colloquial term used to refer to antishock bodies placed at the trailing edge of a subsonic aircraft's wings in order to reduce the drag it experiences as it enters the transonic flight regime. They were concurrently developed by Richard Whitcomb at NASA and Dietrich KĂĽchemann, a German aerodynamicist, in the early 1950's.
