Hi all,
a question concerning the engine's strake on the A320 series of the CFM manufacture. :8
Could anybody, for sure more expert than me, tell me what is the precise need of them and why on the A320 the strake is present ONLY on the inner side of the engine and not on both sides as on the A319? :confused:
Thanx to you all,
always happy landings! :ok:
Examples:
