Abstract
According to an embodiment disclosed herein, a gurney flap assembly includes an actuator, and a flexible body attaching to the actuator, the body having a downwardly depending flap for moving into and out of an airstream in a pressure side of a wing, wherein the flexible body flexes in reaction to motion of the actuator. This increases the lift force of the rotor blade, wing or aerofoil blade.
