Default AOA flaps

hey guys i had another idea today, (im full of 'em)

could you have the plane change its main wing angle of attack instead of deploying flaps from say +3 to +10 or something like that?


anyway just a nother idea.

I will put the plans up for skippy once i get him flying (it is about 32" wingspan vtail design im working on)

Several carrior jets have done this. The A7E Corsair I think is one. Raised the front of the wing for ladings. Think it had more to do with the limited landing gear travel and the fuse's orientation on landing.

OK it looks like the F-8 Crusader was the one that lifted the front of the wing for landing;
