I only read Flying and over generalize, and talk out of my ass a lot, but I thought they improved airflow over the wing, generated drag, reduced stall spèed allowed lower landing speeds and improved altitude control.
Please correct me, or better yet flame me for my misunderstandings.
Thanks in advance,

I do not know anything about their efficiency/effectivity/reliabilty and/or performance when compared to other solutions -in fact I did not know what they are-, but they apparently are old technology so we should respect them.

Are you Evan?...And I think that it would be extremely cool to see the POTUS buzzing around in a DC-3...
The POTUS needs 4 engines...
A Connie or B-17 or B-29, maybe.

I love the Connie. How about a DC-4, -6 or -7? . I think there are no Krueger flaps involved.The POTUS needs 4 engines...

(A Ford Trimotor would be awesome, but it also lacks the necessary number of engines )

Re: Are Krueger flaps bad?
Frankly, as a pilot, it matters not a hoot to me whether the airplane uses Kruegers or regular slats or both. As long as it works good and lasts a long time, I really don't care.I only read Flying and over generalize, and talk out of my ass a lot, but I thought they improved airflow over the wing, generated drag, reduced stall spèed allowed lower landing speeds and improved altitude control.
