    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouge_flap

    The Gouge flap, is a type of aircraft flap, which moves on a track when raised or lowered; in level flight. Invented by Arthur Gouge of Short Brothers in 1936, it allows pilots to increase both the wing area and the chord of an aircraft's wing, thereby reducing the stalling speed at a given weight. This provides benefits including a shorter ...

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

    A flap is a high-lift device used to reduce the stalling speed of an aircraft wing at a given weight. Flaps are usually mounted on the wing trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft. Flaps are used to reduce the take-off distance and the landing distance. Flaps also cause an increase in drag so they are retracted when not needed.

    The wing root fairing of an American Aviation AA-1 Yankee. An aircraft fairing is a structure whose primary function is to produce a smooth outline and reduce drag. [1]These structures are covers for gaps and spaces between parts of an aircraft to reduce form drag and interference drag, and to improve appearance.

  7. Air navigation - Wikipedia

    The aim of all subsequent navigation is to follow the chosen track as accurately as possible. Occasionally, the pilot may elect on one leg to follow a clearly visible feature on the ground such as a railway track, river, highway, or coast. The aircraft in the picture is flying towards B to compensate for the wind from SW and reach point C.
