Abstract:
1. A wing of an aircraft comprising a pressure-side flow surface; a suction-side flow surface relative to an assumed main direction of attack; and a flow fence disposed on a flow surface, wherein the flow fence extends in a chordwise direction of the wing between a location on the pressure-side flow surface and a location on the suction-side flow surface; and wherein the flow fence extends from a first position located on the suction-side flow surface to a wing chord position located on the pressure-side flow surface to prevent a flow separation in certain ranges by impeding a flow running in the spanwise direction of the wing, wherein the first position is located between 0.01% and 10% of a wing chord along the wing chordwise direction of the wing; and wherein the wing chord position located on the pressure-side flow surface is located between 0.01% to 5% of the wing chord in this location.
