Back in form I see, Jax. Posting ignorant statements about things you
know nothing of ... you are consistent anyway.

Leading and trailing edge devices on aircraft wings are not intended to
increase wing area. Leading edge devices, slats or slots, help to keep
the airflow attached to the wing boundary flow at high angles of attack.
Trailing edge devices, flaps, changes the angle at which airflow
leaves the wing, increasing lift.

Find a new subject, Jax, this is one more example of the thousands of
subjects in which you are totally lost.
