This report describes a device for arbitrary enlargement of the gliding angle of airplanes, especially of such with flat gliding angle and difficult landing characteristics. The D.V.L. gliding angle control (design, Hubner) permits a local interruption of the lift distribution along the span and consequently an increased induced drag. The mechanism comprises two wing rudders operated by lever from the pilot's cockpit. Said rudders are fitted on the top side of the wing near the leading edge. The displacement of these rudders results in a separation of the air flow on the top side of the wing.
