Les dispositifs hypersustentateurs sont des surfaces mobiles dont la fonction est de modifier la courbure de profil de l'aile afin d'en augmenter la portance. Ils sont généralement constitués de becs de bord d'attaque et de volets de courbure disposés au bord de fuite. Le bec de bord d'attaque prolonge vers l'avant et vers le bas la courbure du profil pour augmenter l'incidence maximale et donc la portance maximale du profil. 2, record 1, French, - bec%20de%20bord%20d%27attaque

[...] les becs n'interviennent que pour retarder le décrochage. Ces becs utilisent l'effet de fente qui supprime les tourbillons d'extrados. L'ouverture du bec permet [...] de reculer le décrochage. 3, record 1, French, - bec%20de%20bord%20d%27attaque
