Abstract

A new flap design for fixed wing aircraft increases stability and performance of the aircraft through a wide range of air speeds and flight dynamics when implemented on the flap of a fixed wing aircraft. The flap comprises a step configuration on the underside of the flap. Aircraft may be retrofitted with flaps having the new design.
