strake

English to Romanian Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
Unlike the EAP demonstrator, which had a compound delta wing, the EuroFighter has a simpler cropped delta wing. The trailing edge is straight and features full-span split "flaperons (flap-ailerons)". There are small >strakes< on the fuselage below the cockpit and above and behind the canard fins to make sure that airflow over the wing remains effective at high angles of attack. The canard fins are of "all-moving" configuration and have a strong anhedral droop. The straight-edged tailfin also differs from the curved Tornado tailfin used on the EAP demonstrator. There is a large dorsal airbrake behind the cockpit.

@lionut Voleții sunt amplasați pe aripă, nu pe fuzelaj. I-aș zice 'cuțit aerodinamic', dar nu sunt sigur - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strake_(aviation)

voleţi

Voleţii de intrados realizează mărirea portantei din 2 motive:

-mărirea curburii profilului prin plasarea în jos;

-formarea unei depresiuni intense între voletul de intrados şi aripă ceea ce are ca rezultat aspiraţia stratului limită de pe extradosul aripii în regiunea bordului de fugă.

In aviation, a strake is an aerodynamic surface generally mounted on the fuselage of an aircraft to improve the airflow and hence the flight characteristics.
