ricky, for the kriste sakes. never, ever, under any circumstances ever again
open your stupid, ignorant totally ill-informed mouth on anything aeronautical
at all.

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.

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.

Rick;

The Jax isn't totally lost, he just goes off on a tangent without enough
knowledge. Where ever he thinks he has found an exception to the
excepted norm is his favorite topic!

He is rather like a Tenor, in the Choir, singing off key. Hard on the
nerves but harmless.
