What aircraft have Krueger flaps?
Early generation jet airliners such as the B707 Series utilized Krueger flaps as their sole leading edge high lift devices. Current generation aircraft use either all slats or a combination of slats and Krueger flaps. Examples of the latter configuration include the B747 and the BOEING 737-700.
What is the difference between Krueger flaps and slot?
While the aerodynamic effect of Krueger flaps may be similar to that of slats or slots (in those cases where there is a gap or slot between the flap trailing edge and wing leading edge), they are deployed differently. Conversely, slats extend forwards from the upper surface of the leading edge.
What parts of the wing Krueger flaps are installed?
Krueger flaps are positioned on the leading edge of the wings and are used on many jet airliners. The Fowler, Fairey-Youngman and Gouge types of flap increase the wing area in addition to changing the camber. The larger lifting surface reduces wing loading, hence further reducing the stalling speed.
What is the range of a 737-700?

What is slat in aviation?
Slats are extendable, high lift devices on the leading edge of the wings of some fixed wing aircraft. Their purpose is to increase lift during low speed operations such as takeoff, initial climb, approach and landing. Slats are most often extended and retracted using hydraulically or electrically powered actuators.
Which flap will increase wing area and camber?
Moving the flaps aft (toward the tail) and the slats forward increases the wing area. Pivoting the leading edge of the slat and the trailing edge of the flap downward increases the effective camber of the airfoil, which increases the lift.
What is the max speed of a 737 700?
876 km/h

Where are the flight controls located on a 737?
This will give limited changes to the vertical flight path from the spoilers to assist the approach and landing if the normal elevator system jams. The control panel is located on the Aft Overhead Panel, even if it is switched on it will only be active when the flaps are 1 or greater.
How many pages are there on Boeing 737 flight controls?
All of the information, photographs & schematics from this website and much more is now available in a 374 page printed book or in electronic format. This is the first in of a 3-part series on Boeing 737 Flight Controls. This one covers roll control and also speedbrakes.
When was the RSEP installed on the Boeing 737?
From Jan 2003 (l/n 1268) all 737’s were delivered with the Rudder System Enhancement Program (RSEP) installed. This can be recognised in the flight deck by a new STBY RUD ON light in the STANDBY HYD column. This indicates that the standby rudder PCU is pressurised.
The SPEED BRAKE TEST buttons are only found on -1/200’s and old -300’s. They are used in conjunction with the speedbrake lever and antiskid system to illuminate the SPEED BRAKE ARMED and/or SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM lights (located next to the fuel gauges).
