When moved in the same direction (up or down) they will cause a pitching force (nose up or nose down) to be applied to the airframe. When moved differentially, (one up, one down) they will cause a rolling force to be applied." Either a flap produces lift or it doesn’t? A little either way sure, because it messes with the wing's camber, but that's not its real job; it's a control surface to provide torque. (Everyone's taking about lift, but isn't it really: drag?) | |
