"Larry" wrote in message ... An added note: the Flaperons are really 'misnamed' because (at least in the case of the A-6) they have nothing to do with Flaps. The A-6 (and many other Naval Aircraft) have Flaps (on the trailing edge) and Slats (on the leading edge). Hope this helps. Larry AECS (AW/SW/MTS) USN 'Retired' 20 years if gettin 'em off the pointy end AND safely home again! Larry, You are correct. The A-6 Flaperons are indeed misnamed. In reality they are spoilers very similar in design to the glide slope control spoilers used on Schweizer sailplanes. Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder Retired A-6 Bombardier
