I'm working on getting DATCOM to produce aero coefficients for the various types of symetrical devices, including leading edge flaps. Can anyone tell me how the leading edge flaps (or leading edge devices, as they are called) on the Boeing 737 are scheduled. Are they controlled only by the FLAPS handle, which would control both the leading and trailing edge flaps? Ideally, what I'd like is to know for each flap handle setting, the deflection in degrees of the leading and trailing edge flaps. I'm also going to try to get the hydraulic and electrical systems requirements modeled in there too, so that failures in any system will be properly reflected in the functionality of the flaps. If anyone is interested, there is a good site on B737 info... www.b737.org.uk According to that site: * About 1,200 737s are in the air at any time. * A 737 takes off somewhere in the world every 5.3 seconds. * The 737 fleet has flown about 124 million hours in service, travelling 49 billion nautical miles (90 billion kilometres).
Thanks, Bill _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
