ABSTRACT:
A special contour near the trailing edge of an airfoil which improves the airfoil effectiveness. The contour is a combination of a blunt airfoil base, a local region of high surface curvature, typically on the airfoil lower surface, and upper surface and lower surface trailing edge slopes that diverge from each other.
