Going to negative on the ground run as you slow reduces
the angle of attack and stops the wing from stalling on gliders that are prone to wing dropping. Also reduces lift (AoA) and helps glider stick to the ground, ie, no desire to keep flying as the wing can't generate enough lift. John PS Some glider have ailerons that go negative (or do not go as positive) as flaps are increased towards landing, eg, Mosquito, ASH 25. |
