Best Answer

A crosswind can suddenly make your airplane plummet down. It is good at these times to have the extra lift resulting from down flaps. The plane travels slower, but has much better pilot control.

What is the use of flaps in airplanes?

Flaps increase the aerodynamic lift of a wing by increasing it's surface area. This allows the airplane to generate a greater amount of lift at slower speeds. In other words, when the flaps are extended, the airplane doesn't have to go as fast in order to take off or land. The flaps are retracted once the airplane is off the ground and has increased its speed to a point where the extra lift from the flaps is no longer needed. Flaps also have the effect of increasing drag on the airplane wing which reduces the airplane's speed and efficiency, but this only affects the aircraft when operating at higher speeds.

Flaps up or down for a takeoff?

The first point is to understand what flaps do. They create more wing surface area when they are extended, therefor creating more lift at slow speeds. TAKEOFF: Depending on the aircraft you are flying, may be a Cessna 170 or a 747, it all depends on the manufacturer of the aircraft. They may say at when you have X weight, you need no flaps but when you have a completely heavier weight, you may need flaps. *do not use this information for real flying.
