flaperon

A control surface that combines an aileron and flap is called a flaperon.

The bullets had ripped away his flaperon control and Waters realized he was disabled.

Flaperon settings are used to optimize the lift and drag of a wing.

The stabilizer position is governed by the flaperon setting.

This version did away with the flaperon mass balancing, making each wing about 10 kg lighter.

A variable-position horizontal stabilizer changes the pitch simultaneously with the flaperon setting.

Fairings on the upper wing surface accommodate the tall flaperon bellcranks.

"Can you check the flaperon pop-up?"

A flaperon is a type of aircraft control surface that combines aspects of both flaps and ailerons.

Flaperon settings are 0 , 5 , 9 and 16 , with the last setting assisted by the spoilers.

Flaperon (flaps + aileron in one part)

Most owners of PIK-20A converted to the B's flaperon arrangements.

It was then modified so the pilot could switch between locked and unlocked elevator and by December 1983 was reported as flying successfully entirely under flaperon control.

When a flaperon is actuated downward (i.e., used as a flap), there is enough freedom of movement left to be able to still use the aileron function.

The flaperon drives are located at the wing roots, an elegant solution that required a large amount of lead for mass balancing the control surfaces to preclude any risk of flutter.

It incorporated a laminar flow airfoil, new flaperon design, metal flaperon attach brackets and a new 2:1 differential aileron control system.

The unique flaperon flight-control system, plus a thrust ejector system that directed engine exhaust across the flaperons to increase responsiveness, gave the huge bomber the roll response of a small fighter.

Nose held off until the main mounts were firmly planted, decelerating nicely, speed brakes and flaperon pop-up deployed, five thousand feet of concrete remaining, slowing... "Ginger aborting," she broadcast on the radio.

The variable-position horizontal stabilizer is governed by the flaperon setting: the settings of the flaperon control produce corresponding changes to the stabilizer angle of incidence, thus defining the trim airspeed in relation to the flaperon requirements.
