It will deflect with the flaps but not extend backwards. At high speed, the outboard ailerons are locked and all roll control is achieved by deflecting the inboard ailerons (and spoilers, if needed).
- What are advantages and disadvantages of flaperons?At the same time, the inboard end of the flaperon contributes marginally to roll control, the roll arm being short. And you are also limited to the use of differential aileron gearing as an adverse yaw reducer due to the need to keep the flap function reasonably symmetrical.
- Why do flaperons 'move down then up' on takeoff roll on a 787?During ground runs for an engine, the flaperon is known to flutter. The poster cites the B777 Maintenance Training Manual Rev 4 02/08/1997. The reasoning comes from this other 12-year old thread .
- Why are the flaperons on the 787 located so far in-board?This is part of a long standing trend since the mechanically complex 747 of simplifying flap mechanisms by using more sophisticated aerodynamic design.2 So the flaps proper move a little bit aft as they extend, but I think the flaperon hinge isn't dropped, so that it doesn't extend aft and crunch into the flaps. This video shows that the ...
- How to setup 2 ailerons and 2 flaperons - Futaba 14SG - RC ... - RC GroupsThanks, I did manage to do so late last night. I did set the two inner ailerons as "flaps" and set an aileron to flap mix enabled by the first switch position, on the second switch position I've set hw to flap mix, which basically let me do whatever I want and on the third switch position I enabled the "airbrake" feature.
