What type of flaps does the T-6 have?

The T-6A Texan II is equipped with four-segment split flaps. This design allows for enhanced lift and improved performance during slow flight conditions, particularly important during takeoff and landing phases. The four-segment configuration provides a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and the ability to create significant lift while minimizing drag.

Split flaps are positioned on the trailing edge of the wings and extend downward when deployed, increasing the camber of the wing and improving its performance at lower speeds. This feature is crucial for training aircraft like the T-6, making it more forgiving and easier to handle for student pilots, particularly during critical phases of flight.
