Flap Positioning Data

The table below contains information used in positioning the part-span and full-span flaps. The (x, y, z) rotations and translations provided were used to transform the flap from its 'stowed' configuration to the 'deployed' configuration. To return the flap to its stowed configuration, perform in order (x, y, z) translation, (z) rotation, (y) rotation, (x) rotation. All rotations are about (0,0,0).

  8-5-11 update: crossed out rotations and translations lead to a "badly stowed" flap; updated numbers to a properly stowed flap are currently available for 2 configurations. J. Hannon
