CONT

The Swift is a swept wing with an inboard flap for trim, the flaps extend over almost half the span and can be deflected as much as 50° for approach and landing. One alternative to elevons is the inboard flap. Such a surface has favourable effects on performance, but is less effective than elevons.

CONT

The inboard flap was found broken and separated from the wing structure.
