The marvel of aviation is made possible through a delicate dance between aerodynamic forces and intricate engineering. Among the many components that contribute to the ability of flight, wing flaps play a pivotal role in ensuring the controlled ascent, descent, and navigation of an aircraft. In this blog, we will delve into wing flaps, discussing their functionality and how they synchronize with other control surfaces such as elevators, rudders, ailerons, and the underlying electric motor and pulley systems.

Aircraft are equipped with a wide range of instruments that serve various purposes, and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is just one example of a measuring device that aircraft take advantage of. However, understanding how DME works consists of familiarizing yourself with its complexities. For instance, DME is coupled with a VOR (VHF Omni-Directional Range) and an ILS (Instrument Landing System) which makes things even more complicated.
