How flaps work?

In this video you will learn how flaps work, how flaps affect the stall speed and what the different types of flaps are.

We know the music in this video is annoying so sorry about that - we can't change it now. Please feel free to comment and don't forget to subscribe as there will be more videos about flaps in the future.

Thanks for watching!

So good to see an informative video that goes straight to the point instead of babbling for 10 minutes.

so in short, flaps were made to help the plane has more lift at low speed, which is used at both take off and landing, thank you for the information

Incredibly helpful.this helped me understand flaps and pass my exams

[blaster-zyxx]

IN addition, flaps also greatly increase drag as the aircraft speeds up, allowing the aircraft to come in at a steeper angle without increasing speed.

the voice, the animation, and the explanation is perfect, keep the good work

[peterpallas]

Your videos are perfect, keep it going pls! Good job!

[DalitsoSakala-voice]

This is so helpful i greatly appreciate your work 💯

[mahbtsarmy]

Amazing and easy to understand, Thank u for sharing this.

[webley]

Excellent video, very nice
But pls remove the music

[jaskirat]

Amazing video, but that background music is VERY distracting. Removing it would significantly increase the quality of this video.

Flaps down is up and flaps up is down. Makes perfect sense

[mvramamoorthy]

Camber increases,
Chord line shift sup icreasing AOA- more Lift with same smeed
Lower stall speed
lower pitch with icreaing visibility
Lower take off and landing speed

Increased Drag

Try turning down your background music a little bit. Youre helping me a lot with your lessons. Keep it up!

[nazibulhaque]

Background music was so problematic... otherwise it was great as well...👍👍

I hadn't realized that the airplane will stall at a lower nose attitude with flaps down compared to flaps up. I'll have to experimentally verify it at some point (with plenty of altitude to recover, of course.) At least, for any wing where the CL peaks further to the left on the CL versus AoA graph, this would be the case, as the wing is at a lower AoA further to the left. Perhaps it's not the case with some flap designs. And this is assuming that the graph shows the regular AoA, and not the effective AoA.

i don’t understand physics
i came here because i just want to know what is flap because i played flight simulator

[prisousa]

background music it too loud. great video !

[reetkahlon]

Good video but the music is distracting

[BlondeQtie]

please turn up the music even more, i can still hear the talking…

[terry]

this results in the lift back the rising and moving slightly backwards ???
