The kit uses a slightly modified strak of airfoils by Mark Drela (AG24 mod. – AG26 mod) for the wing. To ease a proper construction of the originally very thin trailing edge according to RES rules (no use of fibre composits for the trailing edge), the airfoil at the trailing edge was slightly thickened. The wing of the SLITE V2 is, as known from the PURES V2 construction, built as an open rib construction with the famous wound carbon fiber spar tubes. To reduce sagging of the covering film between the ribs, we use double amount of half ribs in the front section. This brings this beautiful wing shape closer to Mark Drela's original airfoil.
