FWD wing spar control surfaces (flight control devices) are: Leading edge slats (L.E.Slats), AFT wing spar = T.E. Flaps, yes, it`s OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallysDad Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks. I thought it would be slats also, but I was unsure. Now I know for sure.... Looks really great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks really great. There are flaps completely done, but temporarily does not installed in place and there is also a good access to the wing to body area is provided.

Flaps, yes, it`s OK. Actually those are leading edge flaps, slats are separated control surfaces which deploy forward (there's an air path between the slat and the wing), slots are fixed slats. All three are used in different places, and some designs use more than one (the slatted Phantoms for example have slots on the outer wing). Leading edge flaps merely change the camber of the wing's airfoil, while slats & slots have a number of effects with regards to boundary layer airflow.

Thank You for the high detailed flight control description. And also the major external change was the substitution of slats for the leading edge flaps on the outboard inner wing and the outboard wing panel. These resulted in increased maneuverability due to notably higher angle of attack capability. The maneuver-slat modification included a small fence just outboard of the wing fold area. The slat on the folding portion of the wing provided a permanent slot – it didn’t extend further but simply pivoted to increase the size of the slot. The inboard slat extended, moving forward via a parallelogram linkage. Edited March 27, 2017 by Ozzyman69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
