  2. Gouge flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouge_flap

    The Gouge flap, is a type of aircraft flap, which moves on a track when raised or lowered; in level flight.Invented by Arthur Gouge of Short Brothers in 1936, it allows pilots to increase both the wing area and the chord of an aircraft's wing, thereby reducing the stalling speed at a given weight.

  3. Flap (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)

    Trailing edge flaps extended on the right on a typical airliner (an Airbus A310-300). Leading edge slats are also extended, on the left. A flap is a high-lift device used to reduce the stalling speed of an aircraft wing at a given weight. Flaps are usually mounted on the wing trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft. Flaps are used to reduce the ...

  4. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    Basic aircraft control surfaces and motion. A)aileron B)control stick C)elevator D)rudder. Aircraft flight control surfaces are aerodynamic devices allowing a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft's flight attitude. Development of an effective set of flight control surfaces was a critical advance in the development of aircraft.

  5. Aero-Works Aerolite 103 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero-Works_Aerolite_103

    There is a fourth small caster-wheel under the tail, because when the pilot's seat is unoccupied the aircraft rests on its tail, due to the aircraft's empty center of gravity. [4] The Aerolite 103 is sold as an assembly kit aircraft. The kit includes an illustrated assembly manual and pre-built fuselage, wings, control surfaces, jury struts and ...

  6. Historical F4U Corsair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_F4U_Corsair

    The aircraft has fairly lengthy runway requirements with a standard day sea level take-off distance of 1,200 ft (366 m) and a landing distance of 1,500 ft (457 m). [1] The kit included prefabricated assemblies, the engine and scale fixed pitch propeller, instruments and avionics. The manufacturer estimated the construction time from the ...

  7. Blown flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap

    The concept was first tested at full-scale on the experimental Hunting H.126. It reduced the stall speed to only 32 mph (51 km/h), a number most light aircraft cannot match. The jet flap used a large percentage of the engine exhaust, rather than compressor bleed air, for blowing. [15] A Buccaneer with the blowing slots visible on the leading edges.

  8. Wingtip device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingtip_device

    TACS are movable panels, similar to flaps or ailerons, on the trailing edge of the wing extension. [42] [43] The system is controlled by the aircraft's electrical system and a high-speed servo which is activated when the aircraft senses an oncoming stress event, essentially simulating an actuating wingtip. However, the wingtip itself is fixed ...

  9. Varga 2150 Kachina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varga_2150_Kachina

    The 2150A design rights were sold in 1967 to used aircraft parts supplier George Varga who formed the Varga Aircraft Corporation. The Varga 2150A Kachina was built at Chandler, Arizona between 1975 and 1982. 121 2150A Kachinas were completed together with 18 examples of the Varga 2180 with a 180 hp Lycoming O-360-A2D engine.
