List of airplanes without flaps
- List of airplanes without flaps
Some aircraft were designed without flaps for the sake of wing design simplicity or for aerodynamic reasons (the flaps on a delta wing would create a too strong nose-down momentum). Some of these aircraft are:
* Avro Vulcan
* B-58
* [http://cradleofaviation.org/exhibits/jet/skyranger/skyranger.html Commonwealth 185 'Skyranger']
* Concorde - As a result of the lack in flaps the designers equipped the Concorde with a dropping nose that drops during take-offs and landings. Because of this the Concorde is characterized by the high Angle of Attack and high speed landings.
* Eurofighter Typhoon
* Extra 300
* F-102
* F-106
* F-117A
* IAI Kfir
* IAI Lavi
* Mirage family (except for the Mirage F1)
* Piper J-3 'Cub'
* Pitts Special
* Rafale
* Saab fighters (Saab 35 Draken, Saab JA37 Viggen, JAS 39 Gripen)
* Su-26
* Tu-144
