Abstract
A flyer bow providing reduced drag during a wire processing operation is provided. The flyer bow may include an elongate arcuate body having a middle portion, and first and second end portions at opposite ends of the middle portion. The elongate arcuate body may be configured to be rotated about an axis of rotation, the middle portion may include an inner surface, an outer surface, a leading edge, and a trailing edge, the inner surface and the outer surface may cooperate to form a cross section, and at least one centerline of the cross section may include a radius of curvature substantially equal to a distance between the elongate arcuate body at the location of the at least one centerline and the axis of rotation.
