2. Flaperon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaperon

   A flaperon (a portmanteau of flap and aileron) on an aircraft's wing is a type of control surface that combines the functions of both flaps and ailerons. Some smaller kitplanes have flaperons for reasons of simplicity of manufacture, while some large commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 747 , 767 , 777 , and 787 may have a flaperon between ...

3. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

   Aileron surface. Ailerons are mounted on the trailing edge of each wing near the wingtips and move in opposite directions. When the pilot moves the aileron control to the left, or turns the wheel counter-clockwise, the left aileron goes up and the right aileron goes down. A raised aileron reduces lift on that wing and a lowered one increases ...

4. Aileron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron

   A single surface on each wing serves both purposes: Used as an aileron, the flaperons left and right are actuated differentially; when used as a flap, both flaperons are actuated downwards. 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.

5. Elevon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevon

   X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing in flight. Several technology research and development efforts exist to integrate the functions of aircraft flight control systems such as ailerons, elevators, elevons and flaps into wings to perform the aerodynamic purpose with the advantages of less: mass, cost, drag, inertia (for faster, stronger control response), complexity (mechanically simpler, fewer moving ...

6. Flap (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)

   In the absence of an inboard aileron, which provides a gap in many flap installations, a modified flap section may be needed. The thrust gate on the Boeing 757 was provided by a single-slotted flap in between the inboard and outboard double-slotted flaps. [5] The A320, A330, A340 and A380 have no inboard aileron. No thrust gate is required in ...

8. Krueger flap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krueger_flap

   While the aerodynamic effect of Krueger flaps may be similar to that of slats or slots (in those cases where there is a gap or slot between the flap trailing edge and wing leading edge), they are deployed differently.
