Any flap that allows air to pass between the wing and the flap is considered a slotted flap. The slotted flap was a result of research at Handley-Page, a variant of the slot that dates from the 1920s, but was not widely used until much later. Some flaps use multiple slots to further boost the effect.
The triple-slotted trailing edge flaps are well displayed and the Krueger flaps on the leading edge also are visible. In aircraft design and aerospace engineering, a high-lift device is a component or mechanism on an aircraft's wing that increases the amount of lift produced by the wing. The device may be a fixed component, or a movable ...
In general, blown flaps can improve the lift of a wing by two to three times. Whereas a complex triple-slotted flap system on a Boeing 747 produces a coefficient of lift of about 2.45, [6] external blowing (upper surface blowing on a Boeing YC-14) improves this to about 7, [6] and internal blowing (jet flap on Hunting H.126) to 9.

Fowler flaps always feature one or more slots. The Fowler flap complex movement requires special guidance systems on the lower surface, called "flap rails". The Fowler flap itself can be in several parts, with several slots. [5] Starting in the summer of 1927 with mechanic Stanley Crowfoot, Fowler privately designed, tested, and funded the ...
KLM Fokker 70, showing position of flap and liftdumper flight controls. The liftdumpers are the lifted cream-coloured panels on the wing upper surface (in this picture there are five on the right wing). The flaps are the large drooped surfaces on the trailing edge of the wing.
Krueger flaps deployed from the leading edge of a Boeing 747 (top left and right in photo). Krueger flaps, or Krüger flaps, are lift enhancement devices that may be fitted to the leading edge of an aircraft wing. Unlike slats or droop flaps, the main wing upper surface and its leading edge is not changed. Instead, a portion of the lower wing ...
The Ilyushin Il-62 (Russian: Илью́шин Ил-62; NATO reporting name: Classic) is a Soviet long-range narrow-body jetliner conceived in 1960 by Ilyushin.As a successor to the popular turboprop Il-18 and with capacity for almost 200 passengers and crew, the Il-62 was the world's largest jet airliner when first flown in 1963.
In this picture, the slats are drooped. Note also the extended trailing-edge flaps.

The slats at the leading edge and the flaps at the trailing edge are extended.
