Best Answer

A Flap is a control surface that is used to kill the lift of a wing to allow the aircraft to descend. I've never heard the term "body Flap" but it must refer to a Flap or a "speed brake" that is located on the fuselage and is used to slow the aircraft. Military aircraft used speed brakes or Dive brakes to slow their speed when diving on a target to drop a bomb. Some aircraft with fuselage speed brakes is the A-1 Skyraider propellor aircraft of Viet Nam and I think the F-86 jet fighter.
