CONCLUSIONS<br />

Two different blunt trailing edge airfoil modifica-<br />

<br />

cutting <strong>of</strong>f method was typically considered in the<br />

namic<br />

performance <strong>of</strong> the cutting <strong>of</strong>f method have<br />

been reported since this method leads to a change in<br />

<br />

added thickness method has been formerly pointed<br />

out as a method that allows the full differentiation<br />

between the effects <strong>of</strong> airfoil geometric parameters<br />

<br />

The added thickness method proved to have better<br />

lift enhancement than the cutting <strong>of</strong>f method because<br />

it does not reduce the mean camber and does not
