  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroprakt_A-22_Foxbat

    The A-22 uses a 3-axis control system, giving the pilot full control over the aircraft. The A-22 uses flaperons in place of ailerons and flaps, giving a stall speed of 52 km/h (32 mph) with the flaperons fully down. [2] [6] The kit comes with either the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL or optionally the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS.

    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 ...
