Humpback style racing wings

Research recently has been done regarding the fluid dynamics of humpback whale fins.

The fins have leading edge bumps, which the reason for has never been known.

It turns out they smooth the flow of water around and over the leading surface before passing over and creating lift.

The advantage to the bumps is a much greater stall angle, and greater effectiveness at lower speeds.

In a traditional sharp even edge wing, at lower speeds the air that would be bumped up or down by the leading edge would in fact be smoothed over the surface so the wing can perform its duty at lower speeds due to the reduction of dirty air.

It's quite counterintuive as sharp and pointy objects have always been the norm in aero dynamics.

This is somewhat baked as the idea has already begun being researched on airplane wings.

But it's the F1 designers who pursue any small bump in performance with so much effort, looking for the next big revolution that everyone will copy.

Pardon the pun.
