An aerofoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge including a plurality of slits extending toward the trailing edge, such that the leading edge is defined by alternating peaks and troughs. Each peak extends in a generally spanwise direction and defines a peak width, each peak being separated from an adjacent peak in the spanwise direction by a trough. Each trough extends in the generally spanwise direction and is spaced in a chordwise direction from the peak, each trough defining a trough width. A ratio of the peak width to the trough width is between 4:1 and 10:1.
