So I was going back over some stuff about the KF airfoil, and I was thinking that maybe the stability they display is because the notch creates a fixed point where the airflow goes from laminar to turbulent, so the COL doesn't wander around when the AOA changes.
On that note, would regular wings benefit from having a tiny version of that step if it works the way I think?
