What's the risk of overspeeding? Can you actually reach speeds that are dangerous to the engines while climbing?
- foxyv 4y agoThe problem is that the mechanisms that hold the flaps in place can be damaged resulting in loss of control over the surface. Sometimes a flap on one side of the plane will be damaged and, when you go to retract the flap, the plane will start to roll. Also the flaps can be torn off the plane.
- t0mas88 4y agoThe engines will be fine, but the airframe has a maximum speed in each configuration. For example the gear can't move above a certain speed and can't be down above a higher speed. Similar for the flaps, at a 30 degrees landing flaps setting you have a fairly low maximum speed. Have to retract flaps to be allowed to accelerate further without damaging them.
