QUESTIONS
- What did the strut do? (It provided a track that the
wing could slide up and down on.)
- How does bending the trailing edge upwards affect the
lift characteristics? Explain. (The air is deflected upwards,
which causes a downwards force on the wing, pushing it down.)
- How does bending the trailing edge downwards affect the
lift characteristics? Explain. (Exactly the opposite effects
to ques. 2)
