That would be the flaps. There are flaps on the trailing edge of a wing on most aircraft and there can also be leading edge flaps as well, often seen on the big airliners. These flaps will be lowered and will effectively increase the curvature of the wing, allowing it fly at higher angles of attack for greater lift. It also produces greater drag, useful for dropping altitude without speeding up and flying slow on approach to landing.
Yes, you can see the curvature of the Earth from a plane when flying at a high altitude, typically above 35,000 feet.
Plane mirrors don't have one, I'd say it was 0.
Lordosis is an exaggerated inward curvature of the lumbar spine, which primarily occurs in the sagittal plane. This means that when viewing the spine from the side, lordosis involves an increased concave curvature in the lumbar region.
The curvature of the Earth affects the flight path of a plane by causing it to follow a curved trajectory rather than a straight line. Pilots must account for this curvature when planning routes to ensure efficient and safe travel.
A plane mirror is not curved so it does not have a center of curvature. Or if you want to be mathematically correct, you could say that it's center of curvature is at an infinite distance from the mirror.

By increasing its radius of curvature to infinity.
The angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the Earth's surface is called the dip angle.
Not necessarily. A plane dissecting a sphere would create a circle in that plane. so in order for the "line" to be both on the plane and the sphere the line would have to be a curve or segment of a circle.
"blank on" = greater convex curvature on the upper surface of
Not sure about a name, but "an infinite surface with zero curvature" is an equivalent phrase.
An infinite flat surface, or an infinite surface with zero curvature.
