I've been thinking about this for a very long time but now that i found this forum i will finally discuss about with you. I was wondering if there are any serious developments or whispers around hybrid or semi-reflex profiles making their way into the low-B or mid-B class wings? Is anyone experimenting with something in the EN-B range? I'm really interested if some prototypes are happening towards that direction?
 
As far as I know, and if someone knows more please correct me, these profiles are still experimental or work in progress, meaning there's nothing mainstream or available for the masses. I think most of the efforts are in the performance segment and while there are some commercial companies that are making some efforts, but I think it's still a long way from seeing these profiles in the lower tiers.
 
Haven't seen much official news yet, but I've heard a few smaller brands tinkering with hybrid or semireflex profiles for EN-B wings, seems like they're testing ways to boost performance without losing beginner friendly handling
