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 1, English, - plain%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 2, English, - single%20slotted%20flap

La structure des volets hypersustentateurs, au demeurant, rappelle celle des gouvernes de vol. [...] La fixation sur la voilure peut être obtenue : soit par une simple articulation(volets pivotants) pour les volets d’intrados et de courbure; soit par des biellettes permettant des mouvements de rotation et de recul(volet de courbure à fente) ;soit par des glissières et chariots(volets roulants), solution mécanique plus délicate et plus lourde mais qui permet pour chaque braquage de réaliser l'augmentation de surface et la fente entre voilure et volet qui a été jugée optima par les aérodynamiciens.  4, record 3, French, - levier%20de%20commande%20volets
