    OK, so have a look at this wing.

    About a month ago, we flew on an A 319m I believe it was N805AW

    ON descent, as the flaps were extended, I noted what you see in the photo above. Looks like the forward edge of that flap is ...torn? and bent upwards? Is that right?

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    That definately looks in place, you can tell by the shape looks like it was done with a CNC. I don't think it's anything to be worried about Mario.

    What's a CNC?

    I definitely found it interesting and later saw a few other photos and realized it was part of the wing design.
    Not worried but it I were believe me, I would have said something then and there :)

    looks normal to me...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    CNC is "Computer Numerical Control" and is used as a shorthand reference to describe the method of using a computer to operate various machine tools, such as a lathe or milling machine, to produce parts. This allows for much more precise manufacturing, and easier reproduction of complex shapes.

    As moose said - It's a computer driven drill set that uses coordinates to shave peices as small as a hair if not less. Manufacturers use them to shave blocks of aluminum, chromium, steel etc. Like aircraft, automobile and bike part companies use them.
