This experiment allows us to recognize the way the<br />

effects <strong>of</strong> main geometric parameters interact <strong>with</strong><br />

the modification parameters by analyzing the mean<br />

Although this does not permit us to derive equations<br />

<br />

A complete detailed analysis <strong>of</strong> a single airfoil is required<br />

in order to quantify the effect <strong>of</strong> the modification<br />

and to fully understand its effects on aerody-<br />
