A few details on the redesigned flap system on the XLR So the new flaps are not for lift improvement at take off? If I understand it right it is an design update for less weight, lower maintenance costs. Maybe with some improvements due lower drag in the 2nd climb phase. |

Maybe with some improvements due lower drag in the 2nd climb phase. You are right, according to Flightglobal's piece Airbus is saying that they don't need a double-slotted inboard flap design anymore because other improvements are being introduced, particularly intermediate FMS-controlled flap settings in climb. |
