Best Answer

Flaps are mounted on the aft or trailing edge of wings. When extended, they change the aerodynamic shape of the wing to produce greater lift at slower speeds. Slats are simply a flap on the leading edge of a wing rather than the trailing edge, increasing lift in a similar manner to a flap. The Slats actually allow the aircraft to obtain greater angle of attack. If too much Flaps are mounted on the trailing edge, this may want to cause the wing to pitch nose down. The Slats is a way to counter-act this force as it tends to cause the nose to pitch upwards. Because both the flap and slat offer great advantages in generating high lift, most aircraft today use a combination of both to maximize the lift coefficient as well as the maximum angle of attack while minimizing the effect of pitching moment.

How do you get segmented base and offset when you have logical address?

You cannot. The conversion goes this way: segment+offset -> [segment-table] -> linear_address -> [page-table] -> physical_address PS: In most cases there is only one (4GB long) segment (or one code-segment and one data-segment), so offset is quite the same as linear address


What is the meaning of near and far declaration in microprocessor programming using C?

Programs that are loaded into memory typically have several segments associated with them: the Code Segment (CS), the Stack Segment (SS), the Data Segment (DS), sometimes an Extended Segment (ES), and almost always a Block Started by Symbol (BSS) segment. This question requires that we focus only on the Code Segment (CS). The CS is a segment of memory that contains some of the instructions that are required for the program to execute. If this segment is not large enough to contain the whole program then the program can be loaded into different segments. Such a segment may be 64Kb in size (although the size may differ). Instructions located in these segments are referred to by their offset from the start of the segment, and not by their absolute location in memory. Thus, in order to locate a certain instruction, we need the segment's starting address, and the offset of the instruction in that segment. Whenever a branch (jump, goto) takes place which refers to an instruction that is located in another segment, it is known as a far jump, conversely whenever a jump refers to an instruction that is located in the same segment, it is known as a near jump. The difference referring to the modication of the CS register which contains the address of the current Code Segment for the current running program.
