  • HYBRID AIRFOIL
    Publication number: 20210285329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a modified airfoil, comprising: an original airfoil having an original leading edge profile with an original leading edge terminating at an x,y co-ordinate of 0,0 and a trailing edge terminating at an x,y co-ordinate of 1,0; and a shape modification element attached to the original airfoil such that a new leading edge of a new leading edge profile formed by the shape modification element terminates at a negative x co-ordinate relative to the original leading edge, wherein the new leading edge profile has a new leading edge profile shape with a NACA mean chord line between 0.3 and 0.7, a thickness between 12% and 17% of the chord line, with a maximum thickness located between 10% and 40% of the chord line, starting from the new leading edge of the new leading edge profile; and a leading edge radius between 1% and 6% of the chord line.

  • AIRCRAFT WING MODIFICATION AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20120049007
    Abstract: A transferable modified leading edge for a wing is detachably mountable to a parent wing. The parent wing may use a NACA 23000-series airfoil. A modified wing tip may be used in conjunction with the modified leading edge. The modified leading edge can be mounted to a parent wing in a way that does not damage the parent wing. The modified leading edge and wing tip can provide increased lift.
