Abstract
Methods for increasing the performance of a foil () by using tip droop () having an inward directed camber capable of generating an inward directed lifting force on the tip droop () in order to control spanwise flow conditions adjacent the tip () of a foil (). Methods for varying the inward lifting shape of a tip droop () are provided along with methods for varying the angle of attack and camber of the tip droop () as the angle of attack of the foil () is changed and as spanwise flow conditions vary.
