`I have been involved in IMAC for some few years now and have seen some airframes outfitted with a rather sharp leading edge at the tip and as it makes it way to the root it transituions gradually to the conventional rounded profile.
I was of the impression that this was a useful design element to assist spin/snap entry.
Is this still a viable design when we consider todays airframes??
