siznaudin Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Interesting: more here ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custer_Channel_Wing Got me thinking about blown flaps... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap And the A380 employs them, if I read correctly.

willedoo Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Got me thinking about blown flaps... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap And the A380 employs them, if I read correctly. Worked well with the Buccaneer and Phantom to lower stall speed for carrier landings. I guess with the Starfighter, it might be the only thing stopping them from falling out of the sky.
