If you have a plane that you want to be able to slow down and land in tight quarters I guess the answer would be to add flaps? I am assuming that with flaps you can drop a plane on a dime?

Let's say that the plane that you want to add flaps onto has ailerons that run near the whole length of the wing.

1. Can you just shorten the length of the ailerons closest to the fuselge and add 2 flaps one on each side of the fuselage?

2. If you were to do this how long would you want each flap to be?

3. Is it a percentage or ratio of the aileron, or the wing?

4. If you were to do this how much maneuervability of the plane would you lose?

I am sure that the information provided is probably a little insuficient to make super accurate statements. I am just trying to figure out ideas. I don't really have any particular plane in mind. I am just thinking. I appreciate your help given the lack of information.

Thanks for the feedback!
