- are used to assist or to modify the effect of the primary flight
controls.
Secondary Flight Controls
secondary flight controls includes
Flaps
Spoilers
Slats
Tabs
are most widely used method for modifying lift.
Flaps
Most —– are on the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons,
but some are located on the wings leading edge.
Flaps
are hinged surfaces located ahead of the flaps.
Spoilers
if the flap is increased the drag is increased also in the slats
true
Making your wings more versatile
Flaps
types of flaps
Plain flaps
split flaps
slotted flaps
fowler flaps
triple slotted flaps
leading edge flaps
kruger flaps
A higher
coefficient of lift is produced as a result of angle of attack
and speed, so by deploying ——– an aircraft can fly at slower
speeds, or take off and land in shorter distances.
Slats
They are used in conjunction with the
ailerons to assist in roll control.
Spoilers
are aerodynamic surfaces on the leading edge of the wings
of fixed-wing aircraft which, when deployed, allow the
wing to operate at a higher angle of attack.
Slats
small auxiliary devices on the trailing edge of various
primary control surfaces
Tabs
are
used to produce aerodynamic forces to trim the aircraft or
to aid the pilot in moving the controls.
