Increase in aerodynamic efficiency which may arise from flying in formation; while theory points to desirability of reduced speed for flight in V formation, without any reduction of speed, formation results in saving, and consequently, for given expenditure of fuel, airplanes in V formation could fly faster than same machines proceeding independently; according to author's vortex theory of sustentation, work done in overcoming induced drag is calculated.
