zap flaps — Flaps on the trailing edges of the wings. These increase the camber as well as the effective wing area. This results in much higher maximum lift and drag values than with camber or split flaps. Also called zapp flaps. Zap flap … Aviation dictionary
split flaps — Flaps on the trailing edges of the wing that are “split,” effectively increasing the camber. The increased camber results in higher lift and drag at lower speeds … Aviation dictionary
Variable camber wing — is a design of aircraft wing by V.J. Burnelli that changes the camber of the airfoil (1933), and varies the area and camber of the wing (1937).This is depicted in the figure below. A mechanism moves and rotates the leading and trailing edge to… … Wikipedia
simple flaps — Wing flaps hinged to the trailing edge of the wings, without an intervening slot. The downward movement increases the camber and, in turn, both the lift and the drag … Aviation dictionary
flap — i. Auxiliary controls built into the wings and used to increase the camber. Flaps may be on the leading or the trailing edges. Trailing edge flaps reduce the stalling angle, whereas leading edge flaps increase the stalling angle when referred to… … Aviation dictionary
