🛫Flaps are a kind of high-lift device used to increase the lift of an aircraft wing at a given airspeed.

🛫Flaps are usually mounted on the wing trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft.

🛫Flaps are used for extra lift on takeoff.

🛫Flaps also cause an increase in drag in mid-flight, so they are retracted when not needed.

🛫Extending the wing flaps increases the camber or curvature of the wing, raising the maximum lift coefficient or the upper limit to the lift a wing can generate.

🛫This allows the aircraft to generate the required lift at a lower speed, reducing the stalling speed of the aircraft, and therefore also the minimum speed at which the aircraft will safely maintain flight.
