Surface element for an aircraft, aircraft and method for improving high-lift generation on a surface element

摘要

A surface element (2), e.g. a wing, of an aircraft comprises a leading edge (4), a high lift device (12) arrangement positioned along the leading edge (4) and at least one add-on body (8, 10) positioned in a leading edge (4) region, wherein the high lift device (12) arrangement is interrupted in the region of at least one add-on body (8, 10) for preventing collision with the add-on body (8, 10) and wherein the surface element (2) comprises an arrangement of openings (16) in a region covering the add-on body (8, 10), which openings (16) are connected to an air conveying device for conveying air through the openings. Thereby an additional flap for harmonizing the flow above a pylon or other add-on body can be eliminated.
