  2. Krueger flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krueger_flap

    Krueger flaps deployed from the leading edge of a Boeing 747 (top left and right in photo). Krueger flaps, or Krüger flaps, are lift enhancement devices that may be fitted to the leading edge of an aircraft wing. Unlike slats or droop flaps, the main wing upper surface and its leading edge is not changed. Instead, a portion of the lower wing ...

  6. Blown flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap

    In general, blown flaps can improve the lift of a wing by two to three times. Whereas a complex triple-slotted flap system on a Boeing 747 produces a coefficient of lift of about 2.45, [6] external blowing (upper surface blowing on a Boeing YC-14) improves this to about 7, [6] and internal blowing (jet flap on Hunting H.126) to 9.

    At the leading and trailing edge it consists of much larger taper and smooths out the pressure differences: high pressure at the leading and trailing edge, low pressure on top of the wing and around the fuselage. [10] The flap track fairings on a Boeing 747 Wing tips
