Keywords: transonic aerofoil, trailing edge modification, aerodynamic performance

The improvement of transonic aerofoil aerodynamic performance by a way of the aerofoil trailing edge modification is performed. The modification of the aerofoil geometry is performed by adding a wedge configuration on the end of trailing-edge lower surface of the aerofoil. This is a practical way that may be proposed to improve an aircraft performance by placing the optimum wedge configuration on the wing trailing edge.
