Divergent trailing-edge airfoil
Preston A. Henne,Robert Gregg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a special contour near the trailing edge of an airfoil is proposed, which improves the effectiveness of the airfoils by combining a blunt base with a local region of high surface curvature, typically on the lower surface, and upper surface and lower surface slopes that diverge from each other.
