The aeroacoustic analysis of high-lift airfoil systems is a critical field of research aimed at understanding and mitigating the noise generated by aircraft during takeoff and landing. High-lift ...

If the angle of attack is small enough, it’s not the airfoil shape but the fact that the wing is at a nose-high angle to the passing air that is fundamentally responsible for generating lift.

Illustration of the airflow along an airfoil that exhibits leading-edge ... without the extension of high lift devices or the utilization of boundary-layer control apparatuses.
