ABSTRACT:
A flap assembly attached to the undersurface of a wing of an aircraft. The size of the flap has been precisely designed in view of the size of the wing of the aircraft and also precisely located relative to the wing of the aircraft so that the flap can be used as an air brake to substantially slow the speed of the aircraft when landing without loss of lift thereby utilizing substantially less runway during landing. Also, the flap assembly can be deployed to increase lift for the purpose of utilizing substantially less runway during take-off.
