this is the most straight and decent explanation i have found till date. thanks!

"flaps increase the wing surface area..." Not entirely correct. If that were true they would simply extend them straight back but if you notice on landings the flaps drop down considerably. It's not that they increase the surface area of the wing, but rather they change the profile of the wing giving it a

Actually they increased the surface area so that aircraft won’t stall that early it basically delay airflow separation

@@tchevrier yeah. You are correct, it doesn’t increase surface area but increases the wing camber thereby increasing the angle of attack in which the lift will increase

Who uses mph instead of kts in aviation

Thank you

..and the small ones that spring up on landing are he ground spoilers

I think flaperoni sounds better

@@LeftLaneHog.308 I agree lol

Thanks for watching

This man is phaltu

+greysponge66 If your camera has a manual focus option, use that and set it to infinity. This will make the camera ignore window artifacts and not try to focus on them. On most consumer cameras such setting may be deep inside the camera menu, it might take some time to find it so you may want to search for the feature in advance. The airplane is a B767.

corisco tupi thanks for the info and the type of aircraft. Much appreciated

greysponge66 757

tks Simon

767 for sure

No, it's good enough for a landing I said good, not butter Ok?

No he skipped the video

+fatpigsarefat oh

+Samuel Petrina yea driving woulda made more sense

You're kidding right?

348frank348 😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😂😂

To me, it looked like the flaps didn't start coming up until after they were clear.

The triple 7's flaps only go to 30 ;)

My apologies, it is a 767...

They are the spoilers, to aid quick slowing down of the plane by increasing more drags thereby halting the plane quikly.

Flaps

Its the fin the fin that turn you left and right

those help the airplanes to tilt and turn

Flaperon

that is how planes land. no way to avoid that jerk when a huge object moving at hundreds of kmph touches ground

Mike Mac it was shot down by tomahawks

***** Now that's an explanation. Detailed, but very good.

***** Thank you, good explanation indeed. However I was puzzled about the FLAP adjustment sound immediately after plane had lifted off from ground. That seemed odd to me, as it seemed that they were increasing the flaps there.

+lxthomas except that the air beneath the wing travels faster, not slower, than the air above. That results in the oft-0=discussed wing-tip vortices (aka "wake turbulence) when the two airstreams come back together at the trailing edge. Back to flaps: flaps add camber (curvature) to the wing to cause the above, which, in turn, adds lift. A low flap setting upon takeoff is intended to optimize lift vs. drag until airspeed is adequate for lift. Flaps are set fuller on landing where both lift and drag are important. The drag on approach allows a higher power setting on jet engines without causing an increase in speed. The higher power setting is important because jet engines are slower to "spool up" on lower power settings. Hope that helps

Actually the air over the upper surface of the wing travels faster creating a lower pressure than beneath the wing :)

+lxthomas the flaps on the rear and the slats in the front are designed to help a jet fly at lower speeds during takeoffs and slowing down for the final approach so they don't touchdown coming in too fast otherwise the jets weight (whatever remaining fuel, luggage, cargo, and with the weight of all passengers) combined will cause the jet to over run the runway on touchdown even with both engines on full throttle reverse

Those are the ailerons which control movement and banking

fatpigsarefat really? i thought ailerons would be placed more towards the wingtip and much much bigger, given the size of the plane....

Chris W They are. There's an inboard one (closer to the cabin) and the outboard one (near the tip of the wing)

fatpigsarefat ohhhh

It's called as *flaperon* ;)

They hold the hydraulics that move the flaps

They are actually just fairings that cover the mechanisms that move the flaps. The hydraulics are used on the PDU (Power Drive Unit) that drives rotary actuators thru long torque tubes to both wings for each mechanism. You can see one of the green actuators under the spoilers, bottom right corner. 4:45

I think an airbus a320-200 because of how the wing looks

Dermot Hopkins it's a boeing 767

Because they did not provide any

Not all planes have them

They even announce it was a delta flight who u trying to fool

steemdup It's a 767... they tend to have kind of noisy "clunky" landings due to the placement of the landing gear.

LOL, you mean because it's on the bottom of the plane? :))

Rough landing? The camera shakes more from the roughness of the runway than from the initial contact.

Its not the airline its the pilot you people think its alwayse the airline but check your flight name before flying

That’s what I said. No grace.

@@flori480 Agree.

757

Yes

+Kevin Hartono yes

yep but don't be confused the 727 have very similar wings.

Asterope 727s wing spans are shorter than the 767s.

Doesnt even look close to 727 wings but it looks like a boeing 777

No, the flaps were.

Yes, a flaperon from MH-370, but that was a 777, and this is a 767.

A380

Good point

It's flooded

buy a ticket and go up to take it by yourself

+MrAlicenine9x xD

savage

Haaa.............Haa...............Ha..................lol.

very peaceful flight

**during takeoff I mean**

I'm focused on the flaps. At about 1:40 you can hear the motor as the pilot begins to retract them. What you do see from time to time quickly moving up and down on takeoff is the inboard aileron. Thanks for watching

Oh, does the in-board aileron move it slowly or something?

By it I mean the plane*

The "thing" between the inboard and outboard flaps is called a flaperon, it acts as a flap and as aileron. It's used for stability especially at low speeds :)

Palans

For what purpose?

Airplane Fan 1998 the plane I fly we retract the 10 degrees of flaps that we used for take off at 300-500ft to the get the best rate of climb, nothing wrong with retracting flaps while climbing so long and the climb is established and there is a positive rate of climb

u stupid dumb ass

Arüjü Andrew 😂😂😂😂😂

Arüjü Andrew 😂😂😂. How do people notice all these things?

U stupid bro

Idiot
