The "flaps" are simply covers. The fine gas transfering membranes are part of the fillaments inside and are protected from the covers "flaps". These membranes work in exactly the same way as the tissues in your lungs.

Which is a possible consequence of taxiing the aircraft with flaps extended?

The flaps, when extended, basically make the wing bigger which generates more lift. during takeoff, it helps to have as much lift as possible to aid the aircraft in it's ascent into the air. during taxiing, there is no real benefit to having the flaps out. the reason the flaps are extended during taxiing is to save time. if the flaps are extended while the plane is taxiing, it doesent have to do it later before it takes off.


Is it possible to land a plane without spoilers and without putting on the flaps?

While it is definitely difficult to land a plane without spoilers or putting on the flaps, it is possible. The best scenario for a plane that is trying to land without these important instruments would be to try and obtain as much runway as possible.


Why do planes have flaps on the wings?

Airplane wings are designed to be most efficient when at high altitudes, traveling fast, while providing as little drag as possible. Unfortunately this design inst the best for takeoff and landing. Flaps are used to change the shape of the wing to accommodate takeoff and landing requirements. Most planes have flaps on the front of the wings (leading edge flaps) and at the back of the wings. During takeoff flaps increase lift so a plane can take off with limited runway length and lower speeds. As the plane gains speed the flaps are retracted. On approach and landing you want to fly as slow as possible so the flaps are deployed in increments till landing speed is achieved. Landing slower means less runway needed to stop.
