Default RE: What are Flapperons???

Flapperons are when both ailerons are made to deflect downward together acting as both flaps and ailerons.

There is really NO benefit (except that you don't have to cut separate flaps) but they are a really BAD idea for several reasons.

Do yourself a favor and forget you ever heard the word and use separate flaps and ailerons
