Leading Edge Slats on the Me-109

[ACE-OF-ACES]

I am still waiting on Crump's to tell us what he tells his so called students..

As in what does he tell them the purpose of leading edge slats are..

1) The purpose of leading edge slats is to reduce the chance of a stall
2) The purpose of leading edge slats is to reduce the chance of a spin

I think most agree the purpose of leading edge slats is to reduce the chance of a stall

Where as it appears that Crump is saying the purpose of leading edge slats is to reduce the chance of a spin

I think it would be interesting, and telling, to have Crump explain this line of reasoning..

Especially in light of the fact that there are many accounts of how leading edge slats CAUSED spins!!

Where, for what ever reason, the leading edge slats did not deploy evenly and thus induces (CAUSE) the plane to spin..

Not to mention the accounts of the leading edge slats POPPING out suddenly such that they 'changed' the aerodynamics such that the pilot had to quickly adjust his controls.. In essence startling the pilot such that he may have over compensated and CAUSE the plane to stall or even spin

In summary

It appears this is another cause of Crump cherry picking Luftwaffe attribute..

Where here only talks about the PROS of a certain attribute and totally ignores the CONS of a certain attribute
