Abstract
Airfoil venting systems are provided which include an airfoil (e.g., a winglet or an aircraft wing) having leading and trailing edges and an internal channel adapted to being fluid-connected to an on-board aircraft system which in use requires air to be exhausted. A series of venting apertures are positioned on at least a portion of the trailing edge of the airfoil and fluid-connected to the internal channel whereby air from the on-board aircraft system can be exhausted therethrough.
