English term or phrase: foil flaps
Tekst dotyczy ogólnie rzecz biorąc procesu odladzania samolotów, ale jest tam fragment odnoszący się do budowy samolotu. Całe zdanie brzmi tak:
The aerodynamic zones are the wings, the leading edge slats and foil flaps, the vertical and horizontal tailplane and all the elements enabling the plane to be controlled around the three axes.

klapy skrzydła//płata
Explanation:
During takeoff and landing the airplane's velocity is relatively low. To keep the lift high (to avoid objects on the ground!), airplane designers try to increase the wing area and change the airfoil shape by putting some moving parts on the wings' leading and trailing edges. The part on the leading edge is called a slat, while the part on the trailing edge is called a flap. The flaps and slats move along metal tracks built into the wings. Moving the flaps aft (toward the tail) and the slats forward increases the wing area. Pivoting the leading edge of the slat and the trailing edge of the flap downward increases the effective camber of the airfoil, which increases the lift. In addition, the large aft-projected area of the flap increases the drag of the aircraft. This helps the airplane slow down for landing.

Klapy – elementy mechanizacji skrzydła, umiejscowione zazwyczaj w tylnej części skrzydła statku powietrznego, pozwalające w razie potrzeby znacznie zwiększyć siłę nośną (nawet o 50–80%) oraz opór skrzydła

Klapy i ich wpływ na charakterystykę płata
Klapy
Klapy to segmenty tylnej części skrzydła, które mogą się wychylać w dół. Zwiększają w ten sposób wysklepienie profilu
i wpływają na rozkład ciśnienia na jego powierzchni.
