  2. High-lift device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-lift_device

    High-lift devices compensate for this design trade-off by adding lift at takeoff and landing, reducing the speed and distance required to safely land the aircraft, and allowing the use of a more efficient wing in flight. The high-lift devices on the Boeing 747-400, for example, increase the wing area by 21% and increase the lift generated by 90 ...

  3. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    Flaps raise the maximum lift coefficient of the aircraft and therefore reduce its stalling speed. [5] They are used during low speed, high angle of attack flight including take-off and descent for landing. Some aircraft are equipped with "flaperons", which are more commonly called "inboard ailerons" [citation needed]. These devices function ...

  4. Leading-edge droop flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_droop_flap

    Droop flaps function with other high-lift devices on an aircraft to increase the camber of the wing and reduce the stalling speed.On the Airbus A380, the first stage of lift device selection deploys the droop flaps (called droop noses by Airbus) and leading-edge slats located further out on the wing; with the main flaps starting to extend when the second stage is selected.

  5. Blown flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap

    Ball-Bartoe Jetwing used for blown-wing research. Note the "augmentor", intended to direct the discharged airflow over the wingWilliams [8] states some flap blowing tests were done at the Royal Aircraft Establishment before the Second World War, and that extensive tests were done during the war in Germany including flight tests with Arado Ar 232, Dornier Do 24 and Messerschmitt Bf 109 aircraft.

  6. Circulation control wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_control_wing

    A circulation control wing (CCW) is a form of high-lift device for use on the main wing of an aircraft to increase the maximum lift coefficient and reduce the stalling speed. CCW technology has been in the research and development phase for over sixty years. Blown flaps were an early example of CCW. [1]

  7. Flap (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)

    This allows the aircraft to generate the required lift at a lower speed, reducing the minimum speed (known as stall speed) at which the aircraft will safely maintain flight. For most aircraft configurations, a useful side effect of flap deployment is a decrease in aircraft pitch angle which lowers the nose thereby improving the pilot's view of ...
