Default Flaps on take-off and landing

I've only heard of the "coffin corner" in reference to helicopter flight.

By envelope I mean the area of safety between two extremes, e.g., the
"coffin corner" of some aircraft represents a very tiny envelope,
since more than a slight movement in any direction may result in
irrecoverable instability.
