Abstract
A wing includes a trailing edge, and a divergent trailing edge device slideable along an aft surface of the trailing edge between a stowed position and a fully deployed position. The trailing edge device is located entirely within the trailing edge when stowed, and it increases lift over drag of the wing when deployed.
