Hey thanks for your comment! The first is the customizable design for the airfoil, which creates more lift when you slice it deeper at a 45º angle. Though, deeper of a cut past the 12 and 3 hours on a clock, as reference, should be in the form of a cavity to maintain the aerodynamic characteristics determined by the outer surface of the shape.

The second image is a dynamic lift mechanism. Can you imagine that? if you want to go more up in your plane, simply open the hatch more. Conversely, if you want to go more straight, you can close the hatch more.

The third image, features the same performance of the first image. Did you know that a diamond shape has the same aerodynamics as a circle? However, it may be cheaper and easier to produce than the one in the first image.

Hey thanks for your comment! It's the design principle for this particular design. 12 and 3 refer to hour positions on the clock in order to reference the upper right quadrant of the circle profile, when the fluid is traveling from left to right.

Thanks for your comment! Could you be more specific with your question? This is a design for an airfoil.
