OBS

Équivalent obtenu auprès d'une terminologue chez Pratt et Whitney qui a consulté un pilote. D'après ce pilote, le terme «flaperon» est une contraction de «flap» et de «aileron». Le segment «flap» se rapporte au dispositif qui permet de réduire la vitesse d'un avion au moment de l'atterrissage tandis que les «ailerons» servent à faciliter les virages. Le «mixer box» serait le dispositif qui permettrait de combiner ces deux actions (réduction de vitesse et virage) en une seule opération.
