DAILY DOUBLE These control surfaces, located on each wing, are RAISED to their maximum extent during landing, in order to help slow the aircraft down.
What are the FLAPS
500
This FORCE is created as wind (air) passes over the aircraft's surfaces and creates FRICTION.
What is DRAG
500
It's the moveable control surface located on the front, or "leading edge", of the wings, used to change the amount of LIFT the wing is generating.
