3. The single-slotted flap (Figure 5.54-3) is very similar to a plain flap, except it has two modifications. First, the leading edges of these two trailing edge flaps are different, as shown in Figure 5.51. The leading edge of a single-slotted flap is carefully designed such that it modifies and stabilizes the boundary layer over the top surface of the wing. A low pressure is created on the leading edge that allows a new boundary layer to form over the flap, which in turn causes the flow to remain attached to a very high flap deflection. The second modification is to allow the flap to move rearward during the deflection (i.e., the slot). The aft movement of a single-slotted flap actually increases the effective chord of the wing, which in turn increases the effective wing planform area. The larger wing planform area naturally generates more lift.
