2016年8月25日 · The slot helps to prevent early separation, so the flap stays effective for larger deflection angles. What that means in reality can be read in this old NACA report which compares two NACA23012 sections, one with a plain flap and the other with a slotted flap.

2016年2月22日 · So, higher the number of slots higher Cl_max one could reach, there should be a limit. In case of a fixed weight of an aircraft,a higher lift coefficient implies that one can fly at lower speed before it stalls. A comparison between different types of flaps (up to double slotted)can be found in the book Aircraft Design and Performance by Anderson.

2023年5月27日 · I am currently doing a school research project attempting to find the effect of single-slotted flaps and slats on an airfoil's (NACA 2412 or similar) lift coefficient. I will be using a small homemade wind tunnel to see the lift force that a small airfoil model generates with and without the use of high-lift devices, and backing the claims up ...

2020年7月4日 · A classic NACA foil without flaps such as the NACA 650-18, as used on Zenith 701 STOL aircraft produces a maximum lift coefficient (Clmax) of approx. 1.5. Add a plain non-slotted flap, and the Clmax increases to roughly 2.2. Add slotted flaps, and the Clmax increases to roughly 2.8. The maximum Clmax of distributed propulsion is 12.

2021年6月6日 · Without flaps the landing speed is around 18 m/s (65kmph) which I want to lower with use of slotted flaps. So far I am using thumb rules like having flap roughly the shape of an airfoil and their relative position to trailing edge of airfoils as a given percentage of chord length.

2023年4月6日 · Before answering that question we have to understand why there are so many kind of flaps. The main difference among the flaps in your picture is their complexity and efficiency. Regarding complexity, just compare the actuating mechanisms of a simple plain flap in respect to a double-slotted flap: (Plain flap, source) (Double-slotted flap, source)

2021年7月20日 · When referring to flaps on jetliners, single-slotted means single-slotted Fowler. The way a slot is created is in one of two ways: Fixed pivot point below the flap line (first image below) Slow airplanes; Flaperons on jetliners; Flaps extend backward and down (Fowler) Main flaps on jetliners (e.g. A380)

2023年8月26日 · Slotted flaps work quite like camber flaps, only that the slot allows to create a new, fresh boundary layer on the flap surface which delays flow separation. Therefore, for small deflection angles the approximations for camber flaps can be applied to slotted flaps, too.

2014年1月18日 · The early Boeing 737 models had wings with triple-slotted flaps that appeared to be derived from the 727. When the 737 was redesigned as the Next Generation series (dash 600 through 900), these flaps were dropped in favor of a double-slotted design. Why did Boeing choose to make this change, and what were the trade offs? Did it impact performance?

Generally, a series of related aircraft uses the same wing: Take the A318, A319, A320 and A321: All use the same wing with the same airfoil, but the much lighter A318 can get away with single-slotted flaps while the heaviest, the A321, needs two flap sections for a double-slotted flap to tease out every bit of lift in order to keep the increase in take-off and approach speeds small.
