oxxy, there is boundary layer control as well, but old thom didn't know what
chord is, so how is anyone going to explain things to him.

old thom also thinks a sail drives a boat forward "because it is curved on one
side", and that air flow absolutely different across a vertical surface as
compared to a horizontal surface.

btw, slots -- as the term slots is used correctly -- are seldom used on jets
(some fighter jets have them). what most people think are "slots" are moveable
portions of the wings that are slide forward and down to increase wing area for
lower landing speed.

Why do
the Jets deploy Slots and Flaps at low speed?

it makes the wings larger.

Well yeah, they do appear larger...but that's not the reason for their
being.
