- How Aircraft Flaps Work: A Brief Guide - Simple FlyingFlaps are a secondary control surface on the wing that affects the aircraft's aerodynamics by changing its characteristics. They play a vital role in helping the aircraft get airborne and land. There are two main categories: leading-edge and trailing-edge flaps, each with different types of flaps.
- How Do Flaps on a Plane Work & What Are They Used ForFlaps work by moving the trailing edge of the wing downward, which moves the chord line. Without changing the pitch of the plane, flaps create a bigger angle of attack on the wing, and therefore more lift.
- How It Works: Flaps - AOPAFlaps are aviation’s original transformers. They allow an aircraft wing to change shape in flight, and that lets pilots optimize them for each phase: takeoff, climb, cruise, approach, and landing. Flaps add camber, and sometimes area, to the wing. And that creates both more lift, and more drag.
- How The 4 Types Of Aircraft Flaps Work - BoldmethodUsing flaps gives you three distinct advantages in your plane: There are 4 primary flap designs, and each of them have advantages and disadvantages.
