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%26rsquo%3Battaque

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The angle at which the airfoil meets the relative airflow is called the angle of attack. As the angle of attack is increased, the changes in pressure over the upper and lower surfaces and the amount of downwash (i.e. air deflected downward) increase up to a point (the stalling angle). Beyond this angle, they decrease. 4, record 2, English, - angle%20of%20attack

L'angle auquel le profil aérodynamique rencontre l'écoulement d’air relatif s’appelle l'angle d’attaque. Quand on augmente l'angle d’attaque, les variations de pression(au-dessus et en dessous de l'aile), de même que la quantité d’air repoussé vers le bas augmentent et cela, jusqu'à un certain point(angle de décrochage). Au-delà de cet angle, elles diminuent. 3, record 2, French, - angle%20d%26rsquo%3Battaque

[Curled toe paralysis] occurs in chicks and poults up to three weeks of age on deficient starter diets. The toes are curled downward and inward and the weight is supported mainly on the hocks. Consequently the birds are reluctant to move and become recumbent; their growth is retarded and eventually they become emaciated and die. 3, record 4, English, - curled%20toe%20paralysis
