RE: Leading and trailing edges, blunt or sharp??
Blunt for leading edge. Someone with more technical knowledge will have to provide the why.
Trailing edge sharp, within reason. It's sharp to reduce turbulance in the air flow when it leaves the wing. But don't make it sharp like a knife, because that's just too fragile. At the speeds we fly, a bit of bluntness on the trailing edge won't matter much and helps greatly to make the trailing edge less fragile.
