Another common high-lift device is the slat, a small aerofoil shaped device attached just in front of the wing leading edge. The slat re-directs the airflow at the front of the wing, allowing it to flow more smoothly over the upper surface when at a high angle of attack. This allows the wing to be operated effectively at the higher angles ...
In aeronautics, a canard is a wing configuration in which a small forewing or foreplane is placed forward of the main wing of a fixed-wing aircraft or a weapon. The term "canard" may be used to describe the aircraft itself, the wing configuration, or the foreplane. [1] [2] [3] Canard wings are also extensively used in guided missiles and smart ...
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 is rotated out in front of the main wing leading edge.
The name of the Elevations Restaurant says it all. The impressive Front Range of the Rocky Mountains provides the backdrop while you enjoy locally sourced dishes and drinks served daily inside the ...
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.
The co-owner of the former landmark Wing-It restaurant, which closed last year after 38 years, is now helping lead the popular Players Grille sports bar.
Anhedral on the wings and tailplane of an RAF Harrier GR7A. Front view of an Antonov An-124. The anhedral wings are clearly seen. Military fighter aircraft often have near zero or even anhedral angle reducing dihedral effect and hence reducing the stability of the spiral mode. This increases maneuverability which is desirable in fighter-type ...
