Hey Guys,

Just curious, What would be the effect of instead of having full span flaps? If they where moved to say the Alieron area on the plane. Near the wingtips.

I have seen where some Europeans and Chinese have been flying 1/2 flaps near the inboard wing area. Next to the fuseluge.

Issue I could see that could cause a problem. Would be the torqueing of the flap horn needed to reach the outboard section. And create an alieron roll effect. If one flap torqued slightly. Other than that, what else?

Wingtip turbulance?

Thanks
(Just tossing around new ideas/ or very old thoughts)
