Air pressure distribution for airfoil lower and upper surfaces is utilized
to divert airflow using ducts formed in space-curve shapes placed inside
the airfoil volume, through span-wise located inlets from high pressure
areas on the airfoil lower surface near the leading edge and through
chord-wise spaced inlets on the side face of the airfoil wing tip
correspondingly to the side face of the airfoil wing tip through
chord-wise spaced outlets on the side face of the airfoil wing tip and to
span-wise located outlets to the low pressure areas on the airfoil upper
surface. Triboelectric materials on the wing surfaces are employed to
static charge the air in drag. Inside the ducts, the employment of either
triboelectric linings and materials, or HV-supplied electrodes, or both,
help to static charge the diverted air flow to and from the airfoil wing
tip side face to diffuse wing tip vortex core early.
