Evaluation of New DFS Functions

Abstract

This report deals with new functions a single flap drive system could enable in the area of flight dynamics and aircraft performance. The work described in the present report was performed in the framework of the EU-funded project NEFS. The features investigated in this report are: Roll trim using the flaps., roll control support by the flaps, increased high lift redundancy, L/D improvements by flap deflection in cruise flight. The simulation model used for these investigations was the NEFS simulation. This model complies with the A320 in mass, geometry and flight dynamics.
