The aircraft would nose-dive ! The flaps are used during flight to help the plane gain or lose height in conjunction with the engines.
No. On MOST airplanes, ailerons are separate from flaps. Ailerons are used to help steer the airplane, while flaps are lowered to change the aerodynamic shape of the wing to provide more lift during take off and landing.

Yes, Flaps are both used to create lift (on takeoff) and to slow the aircraft (on Landing)

An aircraft flap is simply called a "flap." Flaps are movable surfaces located on the wings of an aircraft. They are designed to change the shape and configuration of the wing during different phases of flight. By extending or retracting the flaps, pilots can adjust the lift and drag characteristics of the aircraft, allowing for changes in speed, angle of descent, and takeoff and landing capabilities. Flaps can be divided into several types, including: Plain Flaps: These are the simplest type of flaps, which extend straight down from the wing when deployed. Split Flaps: These flaps are divided into two sections, with the lower section extending downward and the upper section remaining in place. Slotted Flaps: Slotted flaps have a slot or gap between the wing and the flap, which helps to increase lift at lower speeds. Fowler Flaps: Fowler flaps extend backward and downward, increasing both the wing area and camber, which allows for greater lift generation. The specific type of flap used on an aircraft depends on its design and intended purpose. Flaps play a crucial role in controlling and maneuvering an aircraft, particularly during takeoff and landing.
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.
Mud flaps are usually used to help with rocks and mud from building up underneath near the wheels.
Because although flaps create extra lift they also produce a lot of extra drag which makes the plane inefficient.
