  • Trailing edge wedge for an aircraft wing
    Patent number: 6382561
    Abstract: A trailing edge wedge for an aircraft wing is attached to a bottom downwardly facing wing surface along the trailing edge of the wing so that an inner edge wedge surface is fully covered by the bottom wing surface. When the edge wedge is secured to a bottom surface of a wing, the wedge tip faces in the flight direction. The inner edge wedge surface and an opposite outer edge wedge surface enclose a wedge angle within the range of about 5° to about 20°. The edge wedge compensates for asymmetric aircraft characteristics due to unavoidable manufacturing tolerances.
