Default RE: Help Huge wing loading

You might also think about coordinating flap deflection with nacelle position. I seem to remember the videos of the V-22 showing full flaps for takeoffs and landings - I'm assuming to minimize the surface area blanking issue with the nacelles in the vertical position. The Harrier also takes off with full flaps, probably to ease the transition as well.
