I’m not going to attempt to describe Bernoulli’s Principle to one of you:

There are magnets in the flaps that interact with magnets on the runway that slow the plane down

It's called friction.

Jebus, one doesn't have to be an aeronautical engineer to know it is a combination of spoilers, (wheel) brakes and thrust reversers on the engines.

You don’t remember when Maverick had Jester hot on his frickin 6 and he schooled dumbass Goose on how he had to hit the brakes? Those were flaps.


frickin Jester just flew right by.

Got damn, baw
Ya should have learned that in middle school.

Next poster with a smartass comment can meet me at the Sonic on the Westbank

They don't slow down the airplane, exactly.

They are lift-generating surfaces (i.e. wing parts) that let the plane fly slower without falling.

Not driving to the Wank

Ill meet you at the one on Vets then treat you to a route 44 Cherry Limeade after I beat your arse
