When deployed, they increase the wings lift and drag, allowing the airplane to fly safely at slower speeds. When flaps extend, they increase the camber (curvature) of the wing, which boosts the amount of lift the wing generates. On takeoff , flaps help the airplane become airborne sooner by increasing lift. How Do Flaps Work?

A tailless airplane is one where everything needed to fly, like lift, control, and stability, is built into the main wing. In level flight, the aircraft is adjusted so that the wingtips dont add lift. Lift is reduced, and the nose pitches downward. This creates an increase in lift, and the nose pitches up.

Lift, drag, and handling correlate well with IAS in the lower atmosphere. For example, an airliner might indicate only 250 knots at 35,000 feet, but its true airspeed could be over 430 knots. This means the inboard wing loses lift first, while the wingtips might still be lifting. Safety is also a factor.
