Best Answer

Cat flaps allow a cat to go inside and back inside without needing a person to open and close the door for them. The cat flap is a small flap at the bottom of the door that is small enough that only a cat or small animal can fit through it.

Why are airplane flaps not used at cruising speeds?

Because although flaps create extra lift they also produce a lot of extra drag which makes the plane inefficient.


What is the device in an aircraft wing to reduce lift and decrease speed?

Airplanes use a combination of slats and flaps in order to increase lift and increase drag. The slats are located on the leading edge of the wing and the flaps on the trailing edge. Flaps and slats when extended forward and aft increase the wing area which increases lift. When the flaps and slats are further extended they curve downwards increasing the camber of the wing which also increases lift. The greater the lift, the greater the drag. Deploy the flaps a little and lift overcomes the drag, fully extend them and the drag overcomes the lift. For takeoff the flaps and slats may be extended just a few degrees to increase lift. When flaps and slats are fully deployed in landing configuration, the lift is great but so is the drag and this in turn helps to slow down the airplane on decent to land.

What is used to slow down an aircraft?

If the aircraft is coming into land then the hinged part of the wing called Flaps are lowered to increase the amount of Drag over the wings. If you think of drag as an air-born form of braking then Flaps down means the aircraft the aircraft slows but increases the maneuverability the pilot has over the aircraft. If the aircraft is on the ground then wheel brakes are very useful


Do aircraft wings move up and down?

No, but the wings have little flaps that do to control the aircraft from going up and down. the wings do go up and down with the plane but otherwise, no.
