An airfoil that comprises a chamber having a forward-facing chamber opening may result in increased lift and decreased drag relative to a standard airfoil having deployed flaps, for example on an airplane wing. In embodiments, the chamber opening is located on or near the pressure surface of the airfoil. The airfoil chamber may enhance the lift-generating ability of the airfoil due to increased pressure at the pressure surface.
