Welcome to another video! This landing wasn't supposed to be a video considering how early this flight was and considering the lack of sleep I got on the overnight hop from LA but those views had to be captured. Join me for a beautiful sunrise landing into Chicago O'Hare on May 8, 2024. This flight was operated by a Boeing 777-200.

    For anyone who cares, that flap segment between the inboard and outboard flaps, the one that’s moving a lot while the aircraft is on short final, is called a “flaperon.” It functions as a flap when drooped with the main flaps but the deflections are designed to augment the roll control of the ailerons, particularly at slower airspeeds. If you watch carefully, you can see it deflect upward when the aileron out towards the wingtip, deflects up. The movement of the aileron is much more subtle than the movement of the flaperon.

    @gerardmoran9560

    @@TenMinuteTrips Great explanation. The flaperon is a good supplement to roll control. Like the spoilers, which aid in roll control way before the aileron reaches full deflection, the flaperon and roll control spoilers help even out the spanwise load on the wing resulting from roll commands. Smaller forces occurring all along the wingspan create less stress than a large force out at the tip.

    They are? I've never heard of approaches (or takeoffs) being "intentionally designed to highlight" any city skyline, including Chicago. I thought it was mostly wind directions and speeds. This is news to me and to be honest, I'm quite skeptical.
