• Flap (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,… …   Wikipedia

• flap — i. Auxiliary controls built into the wings and used to increase the camber. Flaps may be on the leading or the trailing edges. Trailing edge flaps reduce the stalling angle, whereas leading edge flaps increase the stalling angle when referred to… …   Aviation dictionary

• Blown 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… …   Wikipedia

• Krüger 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… …   Aviation dictionary

• triple 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… …   Aviation dictionary
