The section of the wing close to the wing roots have alrdy stalled at that time (pls refer to the diag that has been alrdy posted on another similar topic). Hence the stall has alrdy occured before the slotted portion of the wing has stalled!!!
It's all abt having such device.
Washout is good but produce a lot of drag. Accetable for a GA aircraft but not good for a fighter! It's one of the raison why the Spitty was so slow!
