    Abstract: A rotor blade comprises an elongated body that has a pressure side and a suction side. The pressure side and suction side intersect at a leading edge and a trailing edge. The elongated body extends outward from a rotor hub. A span is described by a first straight line distance extending outward from the rotor hub along the elongated body. A chord of the elongated body is defined by a second straight-line distance extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. At least one passageway extends through the elongated body between the pressure side and the suction side allowing a corrective flow of air to move from the pressure side to the suction side. The corrective flow of air interacts with and energizes low momentum airflow occurring along the suction side.
