high-lift flap
1High-lift device — In aircraft design, high lift devices are a variety of mechanisms intended to add lift during certain portions of flight. They include common devices such as flaps and slats, as well as less common devices such as leading edge extensions and… …
2high-lift device — Any lift modifying device such as a slot, slat, or flap that allows an airfoil to achieve a higher angle of attack before airflow separation takes place (i.e., its stalling angle is higher than without the high lift device). Slot. Flap …
3Flap (aircraft) — Flaps are hinged surfaces on the trailing edge of the wings of a fixed wing aircraft. As flaps are extended, the stalling speed of the aircraft is reduced. Flaps are also used on the leading edge of the wings of some high speed jet aircraft,… …
4Lift (force) — For other uses, see Lift. Boeing 747 8F landing A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a surface force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the …
5Gurney flap — The Gurney Flap (or wickerbill) is a small flat tab projecting from the trailing edge of a wing. Typically it is set at a right angle to the pressure side surface of the airfoil,cite journal author = Van Dam, C.P. coauthors = Yen, D.T.; Vijgen, P …
6Blown flap — Blown flaps are a powered aerodynamic high lift device invented by the British on the wings of certain aircraft to improve low speed lift during takeoff and landing. The process is sometimes called a boundary layer control system (BLCS). They… …
7triple slotted flap — A type of high lift device to reduce the takeoff or landing speed by changing the lift characteristics of a wing during the takeoff or landing phases. Triple slotted flaps extend downward and rearward away from the wing in three sections. The… …
8Krüger flap — A form of leading edge wing flap hinged at the bottom of the side of an airfoil. It flushes with the airfoil when retracted and increases overall camber when extended, thus increasing the lift. This type of flap is used on high performance… …
