1, Fulfill the ( ) below with the correct part of Airfoil

a. Leading edge ( A )
b. Camber ( C )
c. Chord ( D )
d. Mean Camber line ( F )
e. Thickness ( B )
f. Trailing Edge ( E )

2. How many and what kind type of Flap and Explain how they worked.
a. Plain flap
The rear portion of airfoil rotates downwards on a simple hinge mounted at the front
of the flap. These were full span plain flaps which incorporated ailerons, making it
also the first instance of flaperons.

b. Split flap
The rear portion of the lower surface of the airfoil hinges downwards from the
leading edge of the flap, while the upper surface stays immobile. This can cause large
 changes in longitudinal trim, pitching the nose either down or up. At full deflection, a
split flaps acts much like a spoiler, adding significantly to drag coefficient. It also adds
a little to lift coefficient.

c. slotted flap
A gap between the flap and the wing forces high pressure air from below the wing
over the flap helping the airflow remain attached to the flap, increasing lift
compared to a split flap. additionally, lift across the entire chord of the primary airfoil
is greatly increased as the velocity of air leaving its trailing edge is raised, from the
typical non-flap 80% of freestream, to that of the higher-speed, lower-pressure air
flowing around the leading edge of the slotted flap. Any flap that allows air to pass
between the wing and the flap is considered a slotted flap.

d. fowler flap
A split flap that slides backwards, before hinging downward, thereby increasing first
chord, then camber. The flap may form part of the upper surface of the wing, like a
plain flap, or it may not, like a split flap, but it must slide rearward before lowering.

3. What is Flaperons ? What is the purpose?

flaperon is a type of control surface plane that combines aspects of both the flap and aileron.
In addition to the roll or bank control of an airplane, as with conventional ailerons, both
flaperons can be lowered together to function together for a dedicated set of flaps. The two
ailerons can also be raised, which will provide spoilerons.

4. What is the function of Bell Cranks, and Fairleads ?

 A bellcrank is a type of crank that changes motion through an angle. The angle can be
any angle from 0 to 360 degrees, but 90 degrees and 180 degrees are most common
 A fairlead is a device to guide a line, rope or cable around an object, out of the way or to
stop it from moving laterally. Typically a fairlead will be a ring or hook.
