What is lift augmentation?
A device to aid lift, such as Slats and Flaps on the wings.
What is the use of flaps in airplanes?
Flaps increase the aerodynamic lift of a wing by increasing it's surface area. This allows the airplane to generate a greater amount of lift at slower speeds. In other words, when the flaps are extended, the airplane doesn't have to go as fast in order to take off or land. The flaps are retracted once the airplane is off the ground and has increased its speed to a point where the extra lift from the flaps is no longer needed. Flaps also have the effect of increasing drag on the airplane wing which reduces the airplane's speed and efficiency, but this only affects the aircraft when operating at higher speeds.

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.
Which parts are used to control lift at low speed for takeoff and landing?
Flaps and slatsSlats and flaps
How does airplane flaps work when airplane is climing?
The flaps create more lift when fully extended and the aircraft is climbing.
What advantages do flaps and slats give an airplane?
The Flaps And Slats Give An Airplane More Lift At Low Speeds.
How Flaps work on the aircraft?
flaps create lift when the aircraft has low speeds http://science.howstuffworks.com/airplane13.htm
What advantage do flaps and stats give an airplane?
Flaps and stats increase lift for takeoff and slow you down, for landing.
What do flaps help an airplane do?
An airplanes having the flaps in wings as it helps the plane to give or to produce a additional lift.
How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps?
lift decrease and increase drag
