Flaps are movable surfaces on the wings of an aircraft that extend and retract to increase lift during takeoff and landing. By changing the wing's shape and increasing its surface area, flaps allow the plane to fly safely at slower speeds. This helps improve control and reduces the runway distance needed for takeoff and landing. Overall, flaps enhance the aircraft's performance during critical phases of flight.
yes. the flaps increase drag which slows the plane down.
It helps the plane balance. And on the planes tail it has two flaps on each side, and when these flaps go up it lifts the tail and the plane goes down, and when the flaps go down then then plane goes up.
An airplanes having the flaps in wings as it helps the plane to give or to produce a additional lift.
That is not common. Flaps are generally used to take-off and land.

Camber can be increased by using flaps.
They are quite literally called flaps, and they make the plane go up, down, left and right.
the flaps on a plane increase drag and they create lift so the piolt can fly the plane at a lower speed.
The function of flaps and slats on a plane are simple but important. While landing and taking off the flaps are down so the plane lift increase and the plane can maintain flight with lower air speeds. While cruse altitude flaps are in to reduce drag, safe fuel and the chance to speed up.
slows the plane down
You got it in one they are flaps. the wings have flaps and ailerons and sometimes an extra control surface that goes upwards to help it slow down. In any case the flaps are the control surfaces on the back of the wing that move down as the plane slows down to land. they stop the plane from stalling and falling out of the sky. a very irritating thing if it happens especially when you are close to the ground. by using the flaps the plane is able to keep flying at a lower speed prior to landing. if there were no flaps the plane would have to come in at high speed or fall out of the sky.
