A couple years ago i saw a show on tv or read an article which had pictures of a test-bed aircraft showing off a new type of wing.

I remember it being a fixed multi-element airfoil.

The airplane was in the air flying, one wing was normal the other wing was a combination of regular wing and this fixed multi-element airfoil.

Attached is something I whipped up in paint showing the top-down view of the aircraft as I remember it.

Any help with the name of such an airfoil would be great as I've googled the beejeesus out of 'multi-element airfoil' with no success in finding this test aircraft.

Thanks,
Serge.
