| Jul 23 at 5:02 | comment | added | Koyovis | @KennSebesta The linked wiki seems to refer to the similarity in functionality between slats/slots/krügerFlaps: While the aerodynamic effect of Krueger flaps may be similar to that of slats or slots .... they are deployed differently. | |
| Jul 22 at 15:20 | comment | added | Kenn Sebesta | This is all true, and interesting(!), but my questions specifically asks about leading-edge flaps and not leading-edge slats. Leading edge flaps, unless I'm mistaken about other sources I've read (e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krueger_flap), perform the same function as trailing edge flaps in enhancing lift at the same airspeed/AoA. | |
