HIGH-POSITIONED 3-POSITION VARIABLE CAMBER KRUEGER

摘要

A system and method to enable natural laminar flow over a fluid-dynamic body using a variable camber Krueger flap (306) is disclosed. A sequence of flap positions is deployed where the variable camber Krueger flap (306) is below and aft of the wing leading edge (402, 540) before reaching a configured takeoff and landing position (554, 702). The variable camber Krueger flap (306) is positioned in a high position relative to a wing leading edge (402, 540) when the variable camber Krueger flap (306) is fully deployed.
