Multi-element high lift wing fr steep descent

Hello

I'm looking far geometries and corresponding lift coefficients for a high lift lift comprising some sort of leading edge slot and a multi-flap trailing edge system. I believe this arrangement, with the trailing edge flaps being slotted or fowler, should give me very high lift coefficients.

High Drag is not a problem, rather is preferred.

Does anyone know where I can find profiles of such a wing arrangement? Or something similar such as the Boeing 747 profile.

Thanks

pls check exact keystrokes for it will not fail to come up. the device we are working on serves primarily to reduce induced drag.
 
Check out Zenith Air's webpage, I think zenithair.com. Their 701 has leading edge slats, and interesting info on why you want to use flaperons hanging down below the wing instead of big flaps. (Boundary layer separation on aileron control at low airspeeds......... )

Also really fat airfoils are better for low speed, high lift. You really want high lift, check out the Kasper wing which creates huge circulating vortices over the wing.

Boeing 747 airfoil is for transonic flight. No no.
