lower surface ahead of the flap means the upper surface suction can be reduced while producing the same lift. Gurney flaps have found wide application...

the upper trailing edge of the rear wing. This device, now called a Gurney flap, increases downforce and, if well designed, imposes only a relatively...

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...

Blown flaps, blown wing or jet flaps are powered aerodynamic high-lift devices used on the wings of certain aircraft to improve their low-speed flight...

Flaps are usually located on the trailing edge of a wing, while leading edge flaps are used occasionally. There are many kinds of trailing-edge flap....

ailerons, but on some aircraft, will "droop" when the flaps are deployed, thus acting as both a flap and a roll-control inboard aileron. Slats, also known...

and trailing-edge ailerons (i.e. what would later be called trailing-edge flaps) that could be deployed in conjunction with the leading-edge slats to test...

similarly to a set of flaps. On a plane with flaperons, the pilot still has the standard separate controls for ailerons and flaps, but the flap control also varies...

built the Eagle. Gurney's name is still associated with aerodynamics; he was the first person to use what is now known as a "Gurney flap" on the wing of...

dedicated ailerons also avoids the problem of control reversal and allows flaps to occupy a greater portion of the wing trailing edge. Almost all modern...
