Hello,
I have three aero questions about the Cessna Caravan:
1. Does anyone have the Cessna Customer Service Contact Info.?
2. On the caravan flaps at the end of the flap (traveling inboard to outboard), on the leading edge of the flap, approx. last foot, there appears to be a rubber vortex generator. Is that rubber vortex generator for low speed or high speed and what is it's specific func.? My guess is the vortex generator is for low speeds at slow flight, near stalls. My guess is that stalls on straight wings travel inboard to outboard and that the vortex generator enhances turbulent flow to get that section more turbulent first, which would help with roll stability.
3. Also, on that same flap section, at the trailing edge, there appears to be a small fence. Why is that located at that particular point and why is the fence there. I know fences are used to direct airflow.
Thank you.
