free flap: (Tıp, İlaç) The terms free flap and free tissue transfer are synonymous labels used to describe the movement of tissue from one site on the body to another. "Free" implies that the tissue, along with its blood supply, is detached from the original location ("donor site") and then transferred to another location ("recipient site"). This is in contrast to a "pedicled" flap in which tissue is left attached to the donor site and simply transposed to a new location keeping the "pedicle" intact as a conduit to supply the tissue with blood. Various types of tissue may be transferred as a free flap including skin and fat, muscle, nerve, bone, or any combination of these. An example of the latter would be a "free toe transfer" in which the 1st or 2nd toe is transferred to the hand to reconstruct a thumb. For all free flaps, the blood supply is reconstituted using microsurgery to reconnect the artery (blood into the flap) and vein (allows blood to flow out of the flap). The free flap is a type of microsurgery that is almost exclusively practiced by plastic surgeons

flaps: Control surfaces on the wings which adjust the effective camber of the aerofoil and hence the amount of lift and drag generated at a given airspeed and angle of attack They differ from ailerons in that the flaps on both wings move in the same direction, so affecting the overall flying characteristics while ailerons on the left and right wings move in opposite directions and are used to roll the glider Positive flap settings (with the flaps deflected downwards) reduce the glider's stall speed and are used for landing and slow speed flight (such as when thermalling) Negative flap settings (flaps deflected upwards) improve the glide ratio at high speeds

flaps: Hinged surfaces attached to the trailing edge of a wing, either to increase manoeuvrability (as on a control line aerobatic model) or to increase lift at the expense of drag (as on most full size aircraft and some radio control aeroplanes)
flaps: Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons The flaps are lowered to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower takeoff and landing speed Flaps are often found on scale models, but usually not on basic trainers
