Leading Edge Flaps
Leading Edge Flaps are movable surfaces located on the front edge of an aircraft's wings. They are designed to enhance the wing's aerodynamic performance, particularly during takeoff and landing. By increasing the wing's camber, these flaps allow the aircraft to generate more lift at lower speeds.
When deployed, Leading Edge Flaps help delay airflow separation over the wing, improving control and stability. This feature is crucial for larger aircraft, as it enables them to operate safely at slower speeds and reduces the required runway length for takeoff and landing.
