This study examines leading-edge juncture fillets for vortex flow control on a blunt-nosed, highly swept compound wing. The results show that these small geometric modifications can serve as passive vortex flow control devices, extending the usable angle-of-attack range by delaying vortex breakdown-induced pitch break, thereby supporting the design of novel configurations in off-design conditions.
