It makes the wing larger
Jax,

A cop-out answer!! Does it make it larger in the Chord? Does it
increase the curved surface? Stop your double speak. Tell us what
happens in terms of Newton law of motion and why? That is if you have
the "Balls" to admit you are willing to say you don't have enough smarts
to make your point with a real sailor.

OK Oz,

I guess he is all yours. Jax doesn't want to play with me.

Maybe after he does some more research on Newton's Laws, as applied to
sailing, he'll be able to give some kind of a TROLL answer to my
questions of sail trim. Right now he has to consider the Tel-tail action
according to Newton.

Have fun with our buddy, Jax-off-bees

dougies, think that one through again. It is as I wrote. It is not usually a
problem on a balky diesel because the diesel starter motor takes so much juice
the battery is dead before the waterlift fills us. A balky Atomic 4 can --
and some owners do -- fill the waterlift system. This is because the Atomic 4
has a vastly oversized water pump (not sure why) and with its compression
ration and auto starter motor it will crank over a long time before killing a
group 27 battery.

think it through again, dougies. cranking over a balky engine without starting
it WILL fill the waterlift if yo have enough battery capacity.

naive, the only time the "last two words" have any import is when you
(hereafter referred to as yo-yo) crank a non-starting engine over for an
extended period of time (during which yo-yo has left the cooling water
intake
open) until the entire exhaust system downstream of the waterlift muffler
has
been filled with water

Umm... no.

If you crank a non-starting engine for an extended period of time, the
"entire exhaust system downstream of the waterlift muffler has *NOT*
been filled with water" because the engine valves and cylincers have
been pumping air the whole time.

thom, you asked why and got the correct answer, so I assume you response below
is your form of "Thank You!", to which I say "You are welcome".

It makes the wing larger

Jax,

Does it make it larger in the Chord?

yes.

Does it make it larger in the Chord? Does it
increase the curved surface?

your use of the word "larger" in connection with "Chord" is incorrect. Chord
is two-dimensional, it has only length.

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.

sorry for the mistype, two points define its totality, it is one dimensional.
