SCIENCE BEHIND HIGH LIFT DEVICES
To increase
• Increase camber
• Increase wing area(S)
• Delay stalling
• Boundary layer control
Flaps
Slats and Slots
Boundary layer control
Leading edge root extensions
Split flap
• Lower surface alone hinges downwards
Slotted flap
• Several airfoils which separate, hinge and slide
• Local flow re-energizes
• Multi slotted to bring flow till trailing edge
• Effective at lower speeds

TYPES OF FLAPS
Fowler Flaps
• Slide backward, then downward
• Increase chord and camber
• Provides slot effect
Droops
• Entire leading edge section rotates downwards
• Increases camber and reduces stalling speed
