Default RE: What does washout means?

ORIGINAL: dick Hanson

You can't reshape a given area and increase lift- --you CAN make the wing more controllable at a given speed - but thats it.
Flaps do that too The lift does not increase (tho drag does) but the descent angle is more controllable.
One more question: If flaps do not increase lift by reshaping a given area, then why do my planes balloon way up when I deploy them?
