Principles of Flight – Flaps introduces students to the hidden “helpers” on an aircraft’s wings—the flaps, slats, and speed brakes. You’ll learn how trailing edge flaps and leading-edge devices improve lift, reduce stall speed, and make takeoff and landing safer. You’ll also explore how flap settings are controlled from the cockpit, and why pilots rely on speed brakes after landing.
By understanding the function and operation of these devices, students will gain valuable insights into the aerodynamics of flight. This knowledge is essential for any aspiring pilot or aviation enthusiast wishing to master the complexities of aircraft performance.
