Default RE: ailerons / flap question

How you choose to setup that wing- using flaperons or flaps only - remember this
the lift available is dictated by the SIZE of the wing and the speed thru the air
bending the wing panels (undercamber ) will produce more lift and more drag.
BOTH
so forget the crap about special shapes which produce "more lift"
you get both -lift and drag - they go hand in hand
more lift for landing ?
add reflex (flaps)
