What do you make of the fences under the leading edge?
I've only observed where they are placed to mitigate span-wise flow. If it's a 'laminar' foil, then that's exactly what they'd be after, as NACA ( NASA ) has published long ago that a span-wise flow would immediately trigger the 'jump' to turbulent boundary layer and higher drag.
