This invention provides convenient airframe vibration, tracking, and acoustic improvements of a helicopter rotor blade by use of a profile system. The profile system is designed to minimize acoustic disturbances as air passes the airfoil. The profile may be attached through an adhesive system that allows convenient removal and relocation for use by the helicopter manufacturer or by the helicopter operator in a field environment.
