electric flap actuator can take a 110 lb dynamic load, and a 500 lb static
load. I want to know how to work out the dynamic load on the flap at max f
lap limit speed. If I can work out the area of my flaps, and know the full
flap deflection angle, and limit speed, does anyone know how to calculate t
he force to drive the flaps to their extended position?=0AThanks=0ATony Ren
