Experimental and numerical investigation of leading edge Krueger flaps at low Reynolds numbers

Experimental and numerical investigation of leading edge Krueger flaps at low Reynolds numbers

Recent publications examining the flight of Eagles have shown that leading edge feather deflections occur on the lower surface of the wings in free flight to create a leading edge flap analogous to a Krueger flap system. Such passive high lift devices may be adaptable to the lifting surfaces of unma...
