High Lift Devices

The document discusses high-lift devices used in aviation. It describes: 1) The operating principles of high-lift devices, which increase lift by altering airflow over airfoils. 2) Examples of trailing edge devices like flaps and slats that are commonly used. 3) Leading edge devices like slots and leading edge flaps that also alter airflow. 4) How a typical airliner configuration incorporates multiple high-lift devices along the wing for takeoff and landing. 5) How some natural flyers like birds employ high-lift techniques as well.

a) basic devices
Figure 8-1. Examples of typical trailing edge devices. Note that the Fowler flap also adds area, b) other trailing edge devices
so that part of the CLmax increase is simply due to the use of the original reference area
