Flaps the hinge at the bottom from of the leading edge and
swing down to make a more curved section. Slats are
sections of the leading edge that move forward making a
slot.

Additionally, on B-727 and B-732, the Krueger flaps will droop down after
the hydraulic pressure is shut off. Turn the hydraulic pumps back on and
they retract quickly. More than one mechanic has been hurt this way.
