My thought was,that on say a commercial airliner,on glide slope for landing,and slotted flaps,extended fully and lowered completely,that the turbulators near the rear off the wing,help the flow to re-attach onto the flap,which is at its highest angle of attack (and in stall for it not for the turbulator) to generate safe low speed lift,albeit with tremendous drag.------------------------------- Is that a Subaru Rex that you're driving?
