Is it possible to land a plane without spoilers and without putting on the flaps?
Olivergao1
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.

What is the other name for flaps on an airplane?
Flaps is the only name, although there are similar devices called slats and spoilers.
What are four parts of a plane that are controlled by hydraulic systems?
The four parts are the Aileron, Spoilers, Flaps, and Slats. Others are the Elevator, and Rudder
Take off without flaps?
Yes, it IS possible for most airplanes to take off without using flaps, but it is usually not done because airplane would need a longer runway or more speed before the wings could create enough lift to get off the ground.
What are the major flight controls?
Usually called Primary Flight Controls. They are: Elevator, Rudder and Aileron. A few aircraft's use Spoilers as the only mean of lateral control. These spoilers would be primary flight controls on these planes. All other flight controls are called secondary. Slats, flaps, stabilizer, spoilers, speed brakes etc...
What is main purpose of having flaps?
The main purpose of having flaps is to slow down the airplane without increasing pitch.
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.
What is spoiler and flap and difference?
The simple answer is, flaps extend below and to the rear of the wing from the trailing edge and actually change the geometry of the wing, at the same time increasing drag and lift. Spoilers rise out of the top of the wing and kill lift without changing wing geometry, or adding too appreciably to drag.
How do sharks get around not having an operculum?
Sharks get around without an operculum due to the fact that they instead have branchial flaps. The branchial flaps allow the shark to lay on the sea floor and still "breath" without taking in sand.
How do the tiny flaps of gills enable the fish to absorb as much oxygen as possible?
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.
What other control surfaces does a plane have then elevators ailerons and the rudder?
Other than the elevators, ailerons, and rudder, airplanes have flaps (which cchange the lift and drag), spoilers (which change the lift, drag, and roll), and slats (which change the lift).
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.
What are the flaps in the dryer called?
. . . flaps!
