Hello, curious passenger! Have you ever wondered why airplanes have those weird little things on their wings that come down before takeoff? Don't worry, we're going to solve that aeronautical mystery!
Those "weird little things"; they 're called flaps, and they're like the secret extra wings on airplanes. Did you know that flaps are like the superheroes of aviation? Yes, that's right! When lowered, they help the plane fly better!
Imagine you're in an airplane ready to take off - you 'll feel a jolt and see the flaps lower on the wings! Why do they do that? Well, to give you a smoother and safer flight!
When the flaps are lowered, the wings become bigger and curved! It's as if the plane stretches its wings to fly better! Do you know why? To increase lift! That means the plane can take off more easily and fly more stably!
But wait, there's more! Did you know that the flaps also help the plane land gently, when it's time to land, the flaps are lowered again to slow down and allow the plane to descend gently to the runway. So, the next time you're in an airplane and you see the flaps come down, remember that they're like wing superpowers! They're there to make your flight safer and more comfortable!
If you're wondering how those magical flaps work during takeoff and landing, I have a trick for you! When you reserve your seat, be sure to choose one next to the window over the wings. The seats that allow you to have the best view of how the flaps rise and fall are usually located in rows 10 to 15, but remember that the row configuration may vary depending on the specific aircraft model.
Before boarding, be sure to check the exact location of your seat at check-in to make sure you'll have the best view of the flaps in action - it's like having an exclusive pass to the secrets of aviation! So, if you are a lover of aeronautical technology and are fascinated to see how
flight systems work, don't hesitate to reserve your seat in the right rows to enjoy the spectacle of the flaps in action!
I hope you now feel like an aviation expert! And remember, flaps are your flying friends in the sky! Have a good flight and may the force of lift be with you! Until your next aerial adventure! Did you know that Air Horizont offers private charter flights with the incredible and long-lived Boeing 737? You choose the destination, dates and flight times just for you.
