flaps
Flaps are a type of high-lift device used on the wings of an aircraft to increase lift at slow speeds, such as during takeoff and landing. They can be extended or retracted based on the need for additional lift or drag. Additionally, in a broader sense, a flap can refer to a movable covering or piece attached along one edge, like the flap of an envelope or a tent.
