Abstract
Variable geometry in the form of high lift flaps has been proposed as a means of increasing the overall cross-country speed of a sailplane by providing a better compromise between cruise and climb performance.... The results shows that a substantial increase in both climb performance and effective cross-country speed will result from the use of high lift flaps on sailplanes.
