ABSTRACT:
A rotor flap apparatus is attached to the trailing edge of a wing of a craft. The rotor flap apparatus includes a rotatable rotor mounted on an attachment arm, which is pivotally mounted on a trailing edge of the wing. The attachment arm can be raised or lowered to move the plane of the rotor up or down to vary the lift and thrust characteristics of the wing, to prevent stall and also to allow very low speed take off and landing. In one embodiment, propellers are provided at the leading edge of the wing, in conjunction with the rotor flap apparatus, to provide a system which allows vertical take off and landing of the aircraft. Other embodiments include wings with rotor flap apparatus attached to land craft and underwater craft as well.
