Strake (aeronautics) For wing strakes, see Leading edge root extension (LERX).
Strake (aeronautics) On both supersonic and subsonic types, smaller strakes are sometimes applied to the forward fuselage to control the fuselage flow at high angles of attack ; for example the Concorde SST has small nose strakes "to get a better directional stability".
Strake (aeronautics) Leading edge root extensions (LERX) are also sometimes referred to as wing strakes.
Shell plating Bottom: the Bottom Shell plate strakes extend from the Keel to the Bilge.
Scimitar antenna The earlier Block I design of the Apollo spacecraft carried the scimitar antennas inside two semicircular strakes attached near the base of the Command Module, which were intended to improve aerodynamic stability during reentry. However, the strakes were found to be unnecessary, and would have been ineffective at high lunar return reentry speeds. Therefore the strakes were deleted and the antennas were moved to the Service Module in the Block II design used in manned missions.
