A Leading Edge Flap is a movable surface on the front edge of an aircraft wing. It is designed to improve the wing's aerodynamic performance, especially during takeoff and landing. By extending downward, the flap increases lift at lower speeds, allowing the aircraft to fly safely at slower velocities. These flaps are commonly found on various types of aircraft, including commercial airliners and military jets. They work in conjunction with other wing components, such as Trailing Edge Flaps, to enhance overall lift and control. Proper use of leading edge flaps contributes to safer and more efficient flight operations.
