What are the principal parts of an airplane wing?
The wing is the main flying surface. Control surfaces include the ailerons, flaps and slats.
What is another name for airplane wing flaps?
There is no other name. There are similar things, but each has a name like slats, or something.
What advantages do flaps and slats give an airplane?
The Flaps And Slats Give An Airplane More Lift At Low Speeds.
What is the function of slats in aircraft?
Slats are used to reconfigure the wing in a high speed, or high angle-of-attack maneuover. When the units of angle of attack increase, the wing chord decreases. Slats compensate for this occurance.
How can a wings lift be increased?
Lift can be increased by curving the wing downward. Most aircraft have 'flaps' at the rear inner edge of the wing to achieve this. Some aircraft even have 'slats' at the front of the wing to increase lift even more. - If you google 'aircraft slats', you will see a great picture of slats and flaps on an Airbus A310
What do the slats do on an airplane?
The slats stabilize the plane (Mc Doneld Douglas DC10 for example) for take off. There has been two crashes in the instance when the pilots forgot to extend their flaps and slats.
What has the author Slats Rodgers written?
Slats Rodgers has written: 'Old Soggy No. 1' -- subject(s): Old Soggy No. 1 (Airplane)
What is control surface on airplane wing called?
The ailerons are the control surface on the wings of an airplane. Ailerons control the bank (or roll) of the aircraft. Underneath the wing are flaps, which slow the airplane down and provide lift, typically used during landings and sometimes for short-field takeoffs. Some large aircraft also have slats, which are sort of like flaps for the front side of the wing. Many aircraft also have spoilers, or air brakes, on the top surface of the wing. On the tail are two other control surfaces, the rudder, which controls yaw, and the elevators, which control pitch.
What is the device in an aircraft wing to reduce lift and decrease speed?
A device on an aircraft wing that reduces lift and decreases speed is called a spoiler or airbrake. Spoilers disrupt the flow of air over the wing, reducing lift, while airbrakes create drag to slow down the aircraft. Both mechanisms help in controlling the speed and descent of the aircraft during landing or in-flight.
