ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose mono-element airfoil is disclosed for aerodynamic vehicles and devices. The multi-purpose mono-element highlift airfoil when utilized in an aerodynamic application provides a combined no-moving-parts high lift and cruise airfoil which in conjunction with a plenum, upon pressure initiation, causes pressurized air to issue from a slot tanget to the airfoil surface and remains attached to the airfoil's shaped trailing edge, providing a controlled resultant force or thrust. Upon application to hydrodynamic vehicles, the multi-purpose mono-elements airfoil is placed in the freestream and provides turning or pitching forces to the vehicle without any deflection of itself or any mechanical components.
