Abstract
This paper presents the theoretically and practically grounded methods for aerodynamic compensation of aeroelastic divergence of a forward-swept wing. A special attention is paid to the discovered generation of a normally bound tornado-like vortex. Numerical research of separated flow morphology as well as lifting properties of the system are confirmed by a natural experiment in the wind tunnel and an in-flight experiment.
