Fairey Swordfish
why don't biplanes have flaps?
Every biplane I have played with in fs2002, has not had flaps(sopwith camel, dh chipmiunk, grumman f3f, and fairey swordfish). Do any biplanes have flaps? if no, then why not?
construction problem. some of the WW1 biplanes even did not have the ailerons at all the wings.
they did not need flaps to lower their approach/landing speed. they were terribly slow already as they were.
most of the problems with that days planes was not the lack of lift, but rather the lack of thrust and rigidity of construction.
I suggest finding some data about An-2 Colt, Russian STOL agriculture aircraft. it is called lift factory. and it does have flaps
