A flap with linked balance was capable of pro-ducing as highly balanced hinge moments as
23、 a flap withother types of aerodynamic balance. At the same time,the linked-balance flap was capable of producing slightlyhigher lift than an unbalanced or internally balanced flapof equal ohord and much higher lilt than a flap of equalchord balanced by a conventional overhang.Provided by IHSNot for
