automated flap setting
Does anyone know what became of the Will Schuemann's flap control system as described in the July 1975 issue of Soaring Magazine? It was supposed to appear in the ASW-20, but seems to have disappeared...

My question: Given that our manual flap settings cannot be optimal, how much real-world improvement in climb and cruise could be gained with an automated flap system that always has the flaps at their optimal position ( a hypothetical "perfect" flap setter)? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---
