fixed slats
I am far from being an expert in aerodinamics and everybody knows that slats increase the LIFT in low speed, = finals, thus allowing low final speed, and shorter landing run, making the plane a STOL. Remember the Dornier-27 "DROR"? Trouble is that since the slats are fixed, they increase DRAG and limit the cruise speed continuously. There are some Lights considered STOL such as the Svannah or the Zenair, and another plane similar to those two called YUMA which gives you the pleasure to land in a soccer field, and even less One of the pilots in our airfield has a plane called Stork, which is a replica of an old German WW2 plane, also with fixed slots. This plane , if flown by a good hand, can and DOES land in less than 25 meter, believe it or not. The trick - it finals at 40KM/HR. ! Its cruising speed, however, is around 100 !
