Flaps: What are Flaps? What are they for? Hello, friends of Aviation Without Mystery! Do you know what flaps are? Flaps are essential components on the wings of an airplane, used mainly during takeoff and landing. For those who like to understand the details of aviation and want to find out how these elements influence the safety and efficiency of a flight, this video will be a real lesson! I will explain it in a simple way, so that anyone, whether a beginner or an enthusiast, can understand. Flaps help the airplane have more lift at low speeds, such as when taking off and landing. With them, the aircraft can take off more quickly and, when landing, touch the ground in a safe and controlled manner. In a normal flight, they are retracted, but when it is necessary to reduce speed or increase lift, the flaps come into action. In addition to talking about flaps, I will show you a cargo flight, an experience that few people have the opportunity to see. A cargo plane, on the inside, is very different from passenger planes, and you will be able to see what this type of operation is like.
