Abstract: A method for manufacturing a modular lifting surface from a standard lifting surface, the modular lifting surface includes a central support structure including an upper skin, a lower skin and at least a first spar. The method includes providing the upper skin and the lower skin which are suitable for any of various sizes of a modular lifting surface for the standard lifting surface, wherein the upper skin and lower skin correspond to a standard upper skin and the lower skin conforms to a standard lower skin.

Abstract: A lifting surface of an aircraft, comprising a leading edge and a notch located in the leading edge. The notch comprises two walls adapted to be parallel to the direction of the incident flow to the lifting surface and a third wall adapted to face the incident flow to the lifting surface when it is in flight. The lifting surface also comprises a retractable cover element, the notch and the retractable cover element being configured such that when the retractable cover element does not cover the notch, the notch is exposed to the incident flow generating a vortex which increases the lift force of the lifting surface, delaying stall.
