Flexible droop-nose leading edge is studied and integrated into the high-lift system of the CAE-Aerodynamics Validation Model via numerical and experimental investigation. Two small flow blocking fences are created to postpone flow separation at the adjacent area of outboard slat and inboard droop-nose leading edge, which increases maximum lift.
