A split-flap wing assembly having a wing with a flap frame, a flap having a lateral pivot axis, and one, two or more flap sweep members having a forward end attached at a hinge in a forward end of the flap frame of the wing, and a rearward end attached pivotally to a flap hinge of the flap along the lateral pivot axis. The flap sweep members are pivotable at the forward end from a neutral sweep position within the flap frame, to a deployment angle at which the rearward end of the flap sweep members are farther away from the wing's camber line, to form a slot between the flap frame and a forward edge of the flap that allows airflow from along the lower surface of the wing to flow through the slot and to the interior surface of the flap.
