retraction of / retracting the flaps Explanation: Only medium CL because you should have provided some information from the chapter for which this is the heading. The minimum would be confirmation that these "volets" really are the flaps on an aircraft and not some other sort of "volet". https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/14088/if-flaps-... According to a Boeing publication flaps are usually fully retracted at an altitude of about 3,000 ft. As you probably know flaps increase lift and drag. So as the plane increases speed (and thereby lift potential), the need for flaps decreases. |
