Wing flaps are hinged or sliding surfaces mounted at the trailing edges of wings and designed to increase the camber of the wings. As explained previously, the purpose of flaps is to increase the lift of the wing at a particular speed and angle of attack and also to increase the drag. Wing flaps are particularly useful in the approach to a landing to increase the gliding angle and decrease the landing speed of an aircraft.  5, record 1, English, - wing%20flap

Le volet à fentes multiples. Ce volet est une amélioration du volet à fente unique. À mesure que le volet se déploie, une sorte de petite aile, ou déflecteur, vient se positionner entre le bord de fuite de l’aile et le bord d’attaque du volet. Le déflecteur possède deux fonctions, il crée une seconde fente et de part sa forme il dirige le flux d’air avec une grande efficacité. Ce type de volet à double fente est une méthode exceptionnelle pour augmenter la portance à cause de la complexité mécanique liée à sa cynématique. Il est cependant utilisé sur les gros porteurs de type Boeing 707 et dans sa version à double déflecteur soit triple fente sur les Boeing 727.  3, record 2, French, - volet%20%C3%A0%20fentes%20multiples

The slotted flap is like the Fowler flap in operation, but in appearance it is similar to the plain flap. This flap is equipped with either tracks and roller or hinges of a special design. During operation, the flap moves downward and rearward away from the position of the wing. The "slot" thus opened allows a flow of air over the upper surface of the flap. The effect is to streamline the airflow and to improve the efficiency of the flap.  4, record 3, English, - slotted%20flap

The Fowler flap and others with similar operation are designed to increase substantially the wing area as the flap is extended. When retracted, the flap forms the trailing edge of the wing. As this type of flap is extended, it is moved rearward, often by means of a worm gear, and is supported in the correct position by means of curved tracks. The effect of the Fowler flap, when extended, is to greatly reduce the stalling speed of the aircraft by the increase in wing area and change in wing camber.  4, record 4, English, - Fowler%20flap

Le volet Fowler est encastré dans la partie arrière de l'intrados de l'aile. Lorsqu'il est braqué, il accroît la courbure et la surface de l'aile. En même temps, il se trouve légèrement décalé par rapport à l'aile elle-même, d’où la création d’une fente qui améliore l'écoulement.

The plain flat, in effect, acts as if the trailing edge of the wing were deflected downward to change the camber of the wing, thus increasing both lift and drag. If the flap is moved downward sufficiently, it becomes an effective air brake. The plain flap may be hinged to the wing at the lower side, or it may have the hinge line midway between the lower and upper surfaces.  3, record 5, English, - plain%20flap

A variable camber flap concept is optimized to reduce the drag of a low speed light UAV [Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle] between its stall and cruise speeds using an in-house aerodynamic shape optimization code. The flap, which maintains continuity on the upper surface, was analyzed both numerically and experimentally and was shown to provide important reductions in drag when compared to the clean wing/airfoil in the lower speed range (2.7% on average for the wing) and to have significant actuation energy savings when compared to a conventional plain flap (in the order of 40%). Although the concept uses current actuator technology and materials it is a good option for improving flight endurance/range at low speed over other more complex and advanced morphing concepts.  2, record 6, English, - variable%20camber%20flap

The use of flaps located on the trailing edge of an airplane wing to vary wing lift characteristics during various flight phases is well known. In the so-called single slotted flap arrangement, a wing flap is extended relative to the stationary wing of the aircraft so that a spanwise slot is formed between the trailing edge of the wing and the leading edge of the flap. This slot directs airflow from below the wing and the flap for subsequent discharge across the upper surface of the flap in the direction of and substantially parallel to the air normally flowing over the upper surface of the flap.  2, record 7, English, - single%20slotted%20flap
