What is the effect of deploying trailing edge flaps?

For smooth landing conditions the aircraft must again slow before the touch down on runway for which the trailing edge flap devices are deployed to produce high lift and high drag on wing surface. This arrangement also allows the pilot to have a better visibility through nose up or nose down attitude of aircraft.

What happens when you deploy flaps?

When properly designed and deployed, flaps accomplish two seemingly opposite effects on basic aerodynamics. First, they increase a wings drag coefficient, with the “why” and “how much” varying with the type. Second, deployed flaps increase the coefficient of lift of the wing and make it more efficient.

What is the purpose of slat on an airplane?

Answer: The slats on the leading edge of the wing allow the airplane to take off and land at lower speeds. When extended they alter the airflow so the wing can produce more lift at lower speed. For high-speed flight, they are retracted to reduce drag.

Why are leading edge and trailing edge flaps are often deployed together?

Both leading and trailing edge flap deployment serves a similar purpose. Both increase the wing area and chamber and permitts you to fly at a an an increased angle of attack and slower speed without stalling. That is very useful for landing in particular.

When flaps are extended on an aircraft wing What is the benefit and what is the disadvantage?

Extending flaps reduces your aircraft’s stall speed for a fairly simple reason. Because your wing creates more lift with the flaps down, you don’t need to as much angle-of-attack to balance the four forces of flight.

Why do you need to bend the trailing edge of the wings?

It’s called a winglet (usually) and it helps improve aircraft flight performance, by blocking wingtip vortices which would otherwise disrupt the airflow around the wing and cause decreased lift/ increased drag.

Why deploying flaps at high speed is prohibited?

Originally Answered: Why should flaps never be used at cruising airspeed? Because the aerodynamic forces caused by using flaps at such high speeds would most likely damage the flaps, and quite possibly cause structural damage to the aircraft and/or cause it to depart from controlled flight.
