Abstract
A low aspect ratio airfoil or aircraft wing structure particularly useful in small personal aircraft and STOL aircraft wherein an improved propulsion system substantially eliminates wing tip vortices during take-off and climb operations. An air intake port on the upper surface of the airfoil adjacent the tip end of the foil supplies air for propulsion and increases the lift-to-drag characteristics of the aircraft.
