I've never seen anything to show that a deflected surface will work better with a blunt TE than a sharp one. If there is something on this I'd love to see it. Other than the rounded to blunt comparison there's nothing out there to my knowledge.
That's exactly what I was getting at... the difference between a deflected surface and the rest of the wing. Unfortunately i cannot find anything to support what i wrote (i was going for the intuitive explanation). I can't find anything to disagree with it either. Hmmmm... something to ponder.
Perhaps its a non-issue... I'm thinking too hard for a friday
