Why are there numbers on the wings of airplanes?

because there are numbers wings planes flaps wing flights airbus degrees

¿Becauseé on some airplanes there are about númere in the aircraft wings? Today I tell you this new Aeron curiosityáutica.

From hooks, going by gaps, ice or even a triáthat's it are several of the concerns and curiosities let her flyón have to offer púgeneral in general and that possibly does not knowías, but yesí You wondered at least once whyé Eastán ahí And for whaté serving.

In this new installment we will review another interesting fact that asked me the other Díthat again has to do with the wings of the planes, good of the Airbus in this case.

¿Becauseé There are some núgroupers on airplane wings?

East ás flying, you selected window, you look towards the wing and you realize that for takeoff or during landing there are writings on a part of the ala some núheritage, but ¿para qué sound y cuál is your goal?

We must first introduce to you the flaps, that if you don't know whaté they are telling you are a part mówill part avión whose main objective, among others, is to increase the support coefficientón of the wing by increasing the surface of the same, In simple words they make wingsáS Big at the moment the flaps unfold.

Spaghettién increase resistance and are used in takeoff, phase ofón and land landingún Track conditions, weather or aircraft your deployment grades may vary.

With this introduce usón I tell you that what they see in the image cover of this publicationón has a reason focused on the aircraft maintenance and the correct behavior of the flaps.

¿But for whaté? The idea is that Témaintenance cynics can verify the proper functioning and deployment of flaps, For this a mecáNico in the Cockpit or Low Command Cabs the flaps and another mecáNico Atrás at the height of the wing reviews that flaps 1, 2, 3 And full coincides what happens in cabin with what isán going down in the wingíphysically.

¿Y qué They mean núheritage? Es cuánto have the flaps in degrees of inclination be deployedón.

If I don't knowíso this particularity, déjamelo know in the comments.

  1. I already knew about the flaps (I like to go behind them and listen to the engines) , that before taking off they tested them, but about the # and that someone will verify outside the plane if they activated at all degrees, that is not, I'll be there. on the next flight. Thanks

    Kind regards, Very interesting information about flaps and their markings for reference. You could please give us information about the "flaps asymmetry" when I was acting in functions, on more than one occasion we managed emergency actions for this reason.
