Where are the Leading Edge Flaps located on the wings?

• A. Inboard and outboard edge of each wing.
• B. On the tail.
• C. On the trailing edge of the wings.
• D. On the nose.

Answer: (A)

Leading-edge devices sit on the front edge of the wings, and the leading-edge flaps are on both the inner (inboard) and outer (outboard) sections of each wing. They extend to increase wing camber and lift at low speeds, helping with takeoff, landing, and high angle-of-attack handling. They’re located on the forward edge of the wings, not on the tail or nose, and not on the wing’s trailing edge. So the correct placement is the inboard and outboard edge of each wing.
