ABSTRACT:
A tensioner for drawing a point on a flexible wing's surface toward its leading edge. The wing's camber is thereby increased and maintained even at high airflow velocities and low angles of attack. The provision of a tensioner length adjustment system allows the wing's camber to be optimized for a particular set of conditions. The fitment of a plurality of such tensioners along the wing's chordlines and along its span allows the wing's shape to be fine-tuned both in terms of camber as well as twist.
