Flexible airflow separator to reduce aerodynamic noise generated by a leading edge slat of an aircraft wing

摘要: A slat is selectively extended from a main wing body, with concave rear surface of the facing convex forward nose gap therebetween. At least one row flexible bristles movably arranged relative to lower edge slat, flexibly protrude up into air gap. along upper extend rear-wardly over and body. The are self-positioning self-contouring due aerodynamic forces acting thereon, improve flow conditions through gap, separate airflow an entrapped eddy vortex on thereby reduce noise generated
