| Front | Back |
|
Washout
|
Angle of incidence at the tips is less than at the root
|
|
Leading edge slats
|
Reengergise flow over top surface of the wing, delaying breakup of streamline flow. Also improves outboard aileron effectiveness near the stall.
|
|
Saw tooth
|
Reduce span wise flow
|
|
Wing fences
|
Split wing into different sections, preventing span wise flow from thickening of the boundary layer
|
|
Vortex generators
|
Small plates that rise above wing surface which reenergise the boundary layer and inhibit outward flow
|
|
Shark teeth
|
Fitted to inner leading edges close to wing root to cause stall near the roots before the tips
|
|
Leading edge devices, 3 types
|
LE slots and slats and flaps
|
|
Two types of LE Flaps
|
Krueger flaps - increase camber, pivots down and forward from lower wing Droopsnouts
|
|
LE devices work best at

High AoAs

|
LE flaps function
|
Increase camber, wing area, and reduce stall speed
|
|
LE slats/slots
|
Re-energise the boundary layer, and reduce stall speed
|
|
EAS compared to CAS
|
EAS is always = to or less than CAS
