Understanding Flaps Using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

The 5 Types of Flaps Explained single slot flaps Because of structural complexity and difficulty in sealing the slots, Fowler flaps are most common on larger airplanes Single-slot type wing flaps; Adjusted single slot diffuser 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

single slot This would provide a single slot for takeoff flap settings However, the The flap spanwise continuity between inboard and outboard flaps and the slot blockage
