WING WITH A LEADING EDGE HAVING MEANS TO PREVENT CLOGGING OF HOLES LOCATED ON THE LEADING EDGE

摘要

A wing comprising a leading edge forming a caisson delimited by a wall and an electrically conductive skin forming a lower surface and an upper surface and pierced with holes. A pump is provided to suck the air present in the caisson and/or to inject air into the caisson. The wing includes a voltage generator. Each hole is equipped with an anti-clogging system which comprises an electrically conductive electrode, an electrically insulating body having a stem which lodges in the hole and which has a central orifice in which the electrode lodges. The outer face of the stem has at least one tooth, where each tooth protrudes from the outer face of the stem and extends over the height of the stem. The at least one tooth is distributed around the stem so as to create at least one channel.
