Module 11. Aeroplane aerodynamics, structures and systems

With an increase in the amount of flap deployment, the stalling angle of a wing

  • remains the same.
  • increases.
  • decreases.

Explanation

Trailing-edge flaps increase camber, which raises the maximum lift coefficient but causes the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack. As a result the stalling angle of the wing decreases as more flap is deployed. This is why deck-angle limits are reduced with flap extended.

boholbo asking:

Please why is it not decrease,,,?
flap deploy -> flap stall speed decrease -> stall AOA also decrease..?
