An airfoil is provided having reduced noise generation for use with an aircraft. The airfoil includes a body and a cover. The body has a leading edge spaced from a trailing edge and a side surface disposed between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The body defines an inlet proximate the leading edge and configured to receive air. The side surface defines an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet. The outlet is configured to exhaust air away from the side surface. The cover overlies the inlet and is movable between a first and a second cover position. The cover is configured to prevent movement of air through the inlet when the cover is in the first cover position and configured to permit movement of air through the inlet when the cover is in the second cover position.
